My, my
At Waterloo, Napoleon did surrender
Oh, yeah
And I have met my destiny in quite a similar way
The history book on the shelf
Is always repeating itself
Waterloo
I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo
Promise to love you forevermore
Waterloo
Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo
Knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo
Finally facing my Waterloo
My, my
I tried to hold you back, but you were stronger
Oh, yeah
And now it seems my only chance is giving up the fight
And how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose
Waterloo
I was defeated, you won the war
Waterloo
Promise to love you for ever more
Waterloo
Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo
Knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo
Finally facing my Waterloo
So how could I ever refuse
I feel like I win when I lose
Waterloo
Couldn't escape if I wanted to
Waterloo
Knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo
Finally facing my Waterloo
Ooh-ooh, Waterloo
Knowing my fate is to be with you
Wa-Wa-Wa-Wa-Waterloo
Finally facing my Waterloo
Ooh-ooh, Waterloo...

Это Швеция, вы все музыкальные с пелёнок. У вас музыка преподаётся на уровне математики. Я не удивлён что у него отлично получилось, самобытно, качественно и с энергией которую закладывали abba. С уважением из России
Facing my Waterloo...with pleasure
I don't even know what to say. That was such a great cover, it's just world class. You hear ABBA, but at the same time you hear you and your style, and it fits together so beautiful. ABBA will definitely be proud of you when they hear this version.

Of course Tommy J carried the day like the duke of Wellington at this Waterloo. Marvelous💫🤘
Almost saying: who needs holographic ABBA now?😊 I bet ABBA, Michael B Tretow, Stickan Andersson and Janne Schaffer and many more would love this! Cheers Tommy! Stay Metal!🤘😎🤘
I expect you at Eurovision in Malmö celebrating ABBA! 🙂

What can i say. The most well rounder and talented musician this decade. Simple.
As if I didn't need another reason to decide that Tommy's my new favorite musician... he has a Garfield guitar strap. If we lived in the same countries we'd be besties!
Me in the school bathroom: listening to this cuz it got posted during school hours Teacher: catches me doing so Teacher „Turn the Volume up, I like Tommy too.“ Me and the teacher: Hiding in the school bathroom listening to Tommy
You are breathtaking, Tommy ❤ Твоя игра на гитаре - это отдельный вид искусства
Tommy, I get such joy from your videos, bc of the joy and passion YOU show. It’s obvious this is what you live for, and I’m so glad you share it with your fans! ❤
Great cover, gotta admit his cover of Money Money on the Swedish hits goes Metal album is his best cover of ABBA i've ever heard, how I originally found Tommy!
Thank you. That flying feeling in the verses...beautiful.
Poczulem sie mlodo jak w latach 70-ych.Brawo super
ABBA must be in glory hall of rock and roll !!!!
Milý,zlatý Tommy to bylo super!!! Tvoje podání písně se kterou ABBA vyhrála 6.4 1974 Eurovizi bylo naprosto excelentní a energické. Tvůj perfektní a čistý hlas a moje od dětství zbožňovaná ABBA byl skutečně zážitek . Děkuji ti z celého srdce a posílám pozdrav z Prahy tobě a všem co tě poslouchají a mají rádi 🇨🇿🇨🇿🇨🇿👍👏

When you thought ABBA couldn't get any cooler, Tommy launches Waterloo to another dimension. Seriously, could anyone else turn this into a rock epic with amazing guitar work, awesome vocals and still keep the singalong factor. Tommy, you're the best.
The riffs, the short solo, the harmonies and the groove!!! I was defeated, you won the (cover) war! 🤘🏻🪖🤘🏻

The chord change in "history book" compared to the original is very appealing - a change from C minor to A flat major, if I heard it correctly. This is the kind of thing that someone who knows his craft does.
Tommy. I'm from the older generation, I'm 56. And I have to say I love your new fresh outtakes on these classics. I first came across your video of Eva Maria, and loved it.

This is just what I needed today! Got me on my feet dancing this morning! Thank you Tommy sweetheart I loved this! 😍❤️😘
WOW! What a great cover to wake up to on a FriYAY!!!! It's almost become our weekly Friday morning musical party to kick the weekend off early! Who else is LOVING these 'Tommyfied' and 'Johanssonized' covers as much as I am. I really enjoy watching Tommy 'play with himself' and bring some different characterization to showing himself playing each different instrument. His natural talent and finely honed metal and overall musical sensibilities just make each new cover such a joy to listen to over and over again! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go replay this one about another 50 times or more.....

Hej Tommy! Kul att du framförde din version av Waterloo! Tack för alla fantastiska covers som du förgyller våra fredagar med! Din vackra röst i kombination med ditt skickliga gitarr-, piano- och trumspel får dina tolkningar av diverse låtar att oftast bli ännu bättre än vad originalen var från början! Att du därtill tycks vara en sjyst och humoristisk person som utstrålar en sprudlande kärlek till musiken gör att du förmår sprida denna livsglädje till alla oss lyssnare…varje fredag! Det behövs verkligen i dessa oroliga tider! Tack för att du finns!
Amazing❣️❣️❣️And what could go wrong when our Swedish metal treasure meets our Swedish pop wonder❣️🎸🎤🎶🔥 Thanks for this joyful version❣️🤗
I just love Tommy J Fridays!❤
Brilliant again, Tommy! I enjoy the power and your epic voice! Thanks!!! Never stop singing and playing!!!❤🔥🤘❤🔥🤘❤🔥🤘

These videos are the best thing that has happened to many of us. Love to met you in person just once because your a class act unbeatable. I think i would prefer these videos because the sound of voice and guitar are so much better.
Tommy is gonna take metal-pop to the mainstream
What a magnificent playful version of this timeless classic. Gotta love the 80s inspired melodic guitar licks.
I CANT WAIT!! I love this song! Let the countdown begin!!
SUPER !!!!!
This is my favourite thing I've seen Tommy do! It is just ridiculously energetic and catchy, a perfect arrangement/re-imagination of the ABBA classic. I'm convinced that if Tommy could get this in wide release it would be a hit. Would love to see it on the charts.
If SVT is doing an ABBA tribute at ESC this year I hope they have asked you to join on stage! I love your ABBA-covers!
I often think Sabaton is like the ABBA of heavy metal in terms of catchy music and great lyrics. And here we have Tommy doing Waterloo!
Nation's cover was amazing indeed! And yours rocks and kicks ass in 'quite a similar way'! ;-)) \m/
This is so SO GOOD!! Thank you for this! Full of energy! Couldn't be better. La perfection! 👌
Absolutely fantastic version 👍🤘👏👏Bravo Tommy 🤗
ABBA my favorite ❤️ you nailed it, now I’m wide awake here in New York at 7:00AM thanks for the great wake up call
I really enjoy this ❤❤❤ Thank You ❤❤❤

Now this, this is what true talent looks like.
Whenever I hear this song, I think of the anniversary of my grandmother's death. When the call came in the morning that she had died, Waterloo was playing on the radio. It was like our own personal Waterloo. But that was more than 40 years ago and I've become a big girl in the meantime ☺️....but I still like this song. Tommy, thanks for this great cover - it makes me very happy. By the way: at the last Sabaton album listing you seemed very tired to me. Take care of yourself and don't work so much. Your fans want a healthy and happy Tommy. ❤❤❤

Your performance takes me back to the days of the Europa group. Anyway, I’ve been stuck in front of the monitor for an hour listening to your covers.

Abba is one of my all time favorite groups. And Tommy took it a step farther. Wow! Such talent! Love it!
Just a perfect, fun, energetic cover. I'm turning into a massive Tommy J fan-boy.
The only way I, as a Finn, could ever root for Sweden in the Eurovision would be if Tommy was representing them.

A combination of ABBA and Tommy in the style. More covers should be a combination of the original style as well as the cover artist's style.
Since Waterloo was a place of a famous battle, I would not be surprised by a Sabaton-styled cover of the song :D

Tommy to je hudební anděl opět boží perfektní ♥️🎸🇨🇿
Blimey. This absolute classic is 50 years old, this year. And _this_ is a fitting tribute. Usually, I would beg people to _never_ cover ABBA songs, but this is a rare exception. Stunningly competent and actually "adds" something to the original. Not an easy thing to achieve. Amazing! 🎹🎤
If you're angry or sad, just listen to this Cover and everthing is forgotten for a few minutes. Thank you!
