Chromatic tension in ABBA's 'I'm A Marionette'

ABBA are mostly known for catchy hooks, but 'I'm A Marionette' goes off the deep end! The chromaticism in the chorus and the way the play with modulations and modal interchange makes this song one of the most intriguing from their catalogue, and one ripe for analysis!

*Erratum: at 3:19, the sequence should be AGF#GA. Thanks to midiplay for spotting the mistake!
