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".
