CARNIVAL (PUCK VERSION)

by Persson/Svensson/Sveningson
Performed by the Cardigans
from "Hey get out off my way E.P."


First, I definitely think that the Cardigans use a Capo on the second fret,
and that the key of "Carnival" is E.
Basically, if you play "Carnival" in E, you will use the following chords:

Chords
------

1) near the capo
   

As you can see, the first chord is a strange F#m maybe 7 or 9, I don't 
know, but it sounds exactly like in "Carnival".
The chords 4,5 and 6 are the bossa-style chords that are so hard to catch 
on "by my door, waiting for you".


              *       *    *

HOW TO USE ALL THESE CHORDS
----------------------------

1st Part
--------

*                 
Carnival came by my town today
*             * 
bright lights from giant wheels
            
fall on the alleyways
*
and I'm here

by my door
*     
wating for you

*        
come on and love me now
(sus2*?)   
come on and love me now

*   
I will never know

as 1st part

I hear sounds of lovers
barrel organs, mothers
I would like to take you
down there
just to make you mine
in a merry-go-round
