 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".

      Capo!           are the chords you get without the capo
