CARNIVAL (PUCK VERSION)

I will never know
cause you will never show
come on and love me now
come on and love me now
carnival came by my town today
bright lights from giantwheels
fall on the alleyways
and I’m here
by my door
waiting for you
I will never know
cause you will never show
come on and love me now
come on and love me now
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

Guitar, Bass, Drum Chords Notes Tab Tabs

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".
