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".


              F#m *    E   E9 *  Eb?  D7M *  C#m     B      A

      F#m *    E   E9 *  Eb? D7M *   C#m     B      A
   

My chords book says the D7M* is a D7M/#11...

I hear sounds of lovers
barrel organs, mothers

just to make you mine
in a merry-go-round
