CHORUS 3:
The third chorus (measures 67 through 78) contains several overdubbed
guitar tracks. With the high level of distortion in the signal it's
hard to tell which lick belongs with which track. I've interpreted the
lead guitar here and included a separate third chorus for rhythm guitar
at the end of the TAB. Hold back a bit at first, build up to a
crescendo on the third beat of measure 78, then back off on the fourth
beat and segue quietly into the last bridge.

===========================================================================
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
Transcribed by viki vickenbacker temesvary
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
