CARNIVAL (PUCK VERSION)

by Persson/Svensson/Sveningson
Performed by the Cardigans
from "Hey get out off my way E.P."
Transcribed by Gerald Audenis ([email protected])
With a little help from Edmond Hum ([email protected])


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".


              F#m*    E   Esus2*  D#dim  Dmaj7*  C#m     B      A

       ^ 
       ^      Em*     D   Dsus2*  C#dim  Cmaj7*   Bm      A      G
      the     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     Capo!           are the chords you get without the capo


2) Since I don't have any capo, here are the chords I play


      F#m*    E   Esus2*  D#dim Dmaj7*   C#m     B      A
   

My chords book says the Dmaj7* is a Dmaj7/#11...


HOW TO USE ALL THESE CHORDS

1st Part

F#m*                E 
Carnival came by my town today
Esus2*             F#m* 
bright lights from giant wheels
            E
fall on the alleyways
Esus2*
and I'm here
D#dim
by my door
Dmaj7*     C#m
wating for you


2nd part

F#m*   B  
I will never know
      E(sus2*?) A 
cause you will never show
F#m*        B
come on and love me now
E(sus2*?)   A
come on and love me now

F#m*   B
I will never know
      E(sus2*?) A
cause you will never show
F#m*        B
come on and love me now
E(sus2*?)   A
come on and love me now
Dmaj7*      Esus2*        F#m*  
come on and love me now


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
