"Heartbreaker"
as recorded by The Cardigans
From the album "First Band On The Moon"
Music written by Peter Svensson
Lyrics written by Nina Persson
Comments: I tried to write down Magnus' bass line as close as possible
to the recording and I indicated the implied chords for the progression
the first time through. With its sweet-sounding arrangement turning sour only
in the end, "Heartbreaker" is another fine example of The Cardigans incredibly
listenable material.
