CARNIVAL (PUCK VERSION)

by Persson/Svensson/Sveningson

Performed by the Cardigans

from "Hey get out off my way E.P."

Transcribed by Gerald Audenis (geralda@mech.kth.se)

With a little help from Edmond Hum (ehum@inforamp.net)

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".
