WWW.AZCHORDS.COM | Merchant Natalie - Carnival Tabs | Ver. 2
to meet the demands of the throngs of Natalie guitarists on the
net... carnival... congas required (no, it's *not* a drum machine!),
twirling singer highly recommended, back up singer highly optional
Carnival by Natalie Merchant from the album "Tigerlily" 1995
without anyone's permission or request
KEY to TABLATURE:
/ slide up \ slide down
^ hammer on or pull off ~ vibrato
/B bend up a whole or half note R release
/BB bend up more than a whole note
[E] chord (strum patterns NOT tabbed)
set fx on overdrive; listen for timing and subtle pull-offs-
if you play all notes with equal emphasis, it'll sound wrong!
juice the first slide up to B and bend it for all its worth
