CARNIVAL (PUCK VERB ON)

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

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
E|------| 

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".
