Notes: + On the album he seems to play the C and G/B chords as indicated on the left. I included alternate fingerings in parenthesis on the right as an easier version (plus the transitions are smoother when you stay in one position on the neck). + The general pattern for picking in the verse is low-mid-high-mid. He includes variations throughout where he just plays low-high-low-high, such as F and Fsus2. + I'm not entirely certain that the low E string rings throughout all the chords in the chorus. But without it, the chorus sounds kind of weak. The ringing low E adds power, so I included it. + The dashes for the chords in the chorus are just to remind you to strum the chord once and then directly strum the next chord following the dash. Listen to the song and you'll get the pattern. + After the second and third chorus there is a weird transition section. It's hard to tell what exactly is going on here, but the overall harmony sounds like the indicated G#maj7 chord so just play around with that. ~AW 8xx98x : C (or x320xx) 755xxx : G/B (or x200xx) 133xxx : F5 355xxx : G5 1xx2xx : F 1xx0xx : Fsus2 ============== 07555x : C/E 06444x : B/E 0.10.8.8.8.x : Eb/E 09777x : D/E 08666x : C#/E ============== 3554xx : G 2443xx : F# 5755xx : Am7 4644xx : Abm7 8.10.8.8.x.x : Cm7 7977xx : Bm7 6866xx : Bbm7 ============== 4x5543 : Abmaj7 (Intro) e---------- -----------------| B-(8)------ -----------------| G---------- -------0---------| D----0---0- (x6) ---0-------0---0-| A------7--- -----7---7---7---| E--8------- -8---------------| C G/B I run the carousel F5 G5 With horses and tinkerbell C G/B F Fsus2 Late night by the canal C G/B You wouldn't notice me F5 G5 I have a tendency C G/B F Fsus2 To blend with the music C/E I run the carousel B/E - C/E B/E - C/E Eb/E - D/E - C#/E - B/E - C/E B/E - C/E B/E - C/E Eb/E - D/E - C#/E - B/E C G/B Children swirl around F5 G5 Like drapes in a summertown C G/B F Fsus2 Husbands kindle their wives C G/B Sometimes it tortures me F5 G5 The envy and the jealousy C G/B F Fsus2 But I never panic C/E I run the carousel B/E - C/E B/E - C/E B/E - C/E G F# - G F# - G F# - G C/E I run the carousel B/E - C/E B/E - C/E B/E - C/E G F# - G F# - G F# - G Am7 I run the carousel Abm7 - Am7 Abm7 - Am7 Cm7 - Bm7 - Bbm7 - Abm7 - Am7 Abm7 - Am7 Abm7 - Am7 Abm7 - Am7 Abmaj7 C G/B Sometimes when the birds fly over F5 G5 I look up, but I don't want to go nowhere C G/B F Fsus2 I got lives to save under the open C G/B I live as a mystery man F5 G5 And I sleep in a caravan C G/B F Fsus2 And I love everybody (Chorus: Same as the second chorus above) (Then transitions to G#maj7 section) (Followed by intro riff)
