Carousel Acoustic tab

Carousel Acoustic

Standard Tunning
Tabbed By Shane

This song sounds really good on an acoustic guitar, so i tabbed it out so that you can 
it on an acoustic guitar,
and there is no other tabs for an acoustic.
Please note this tab is not to sound exactly like the orignal, just a version i play on 
acoustic guitar.


Here is the opening riff, mark plays something simular on the base on one of the 
versions of the song

(Very Rapid down strokes)

Play the above riff twice


(After that you can go right to the song, or you can play this riff, it is kinda tricky 
master it smoothly, If you do play it play it twice )

You can either use the power chords above or just use open chords, i prefer to play them 
with the acoustic,
     but you can do whichever one you like.

D                   A
i talk to you every now and then

B               G
I never felt so alone again

D                  A
I stop to think at a wishing well

B                    G
My thoughts send me on a carousel

D                     A
Here I am standing on my own

  B               G
Not a motion from the telephone

D              A
I know not a reason why

B               G
Solitudes a reason to die

D         Em       G
Just you wait and see

D              Em
As school life is a

     G
It is a woken dream

D        Em         G
Aren't you feeling aloooooooooooooooone?

D
I guess its just another

Em
I guess its just another

G
I guess its just another night alone

(Then Play the intro riff again)

D                A
Now as I walk down the street

B                   G
I need a job just to sleep in sheets

D                 A
Buying food every once in a while

B                 G
But not enough to purchase a smile

(Only strum the chord once for this part of the song)
D
A tank of gas is a treasure to me

A
I know now that nothing is free

B
I talk to you every now and then

G
I never felt so alone again


(Then play this little riff again)

Then you can just end on the D chord or you can play the intro again.
