Blink 182
Tabbed By Ben
OK all of these tabs are pretty good except Tom fingers this song differently live so
it’s easier to play while singing. So here’s the tab for Carousel when I saw Blink
play live at Sydney Big Day Out in 2000… you can download this video so if you don’t
believe me watch it and you’ll see. Now I realize that the Chesire Cat version has a cool
intro but if you look at version 11 it’s got it and it’s almost perfect.
INTRO: (played on bass but here’s a guitar version)

Cool little guitar part before verse… Everybody’s is different so if you just mess
around with some single strings you can play it your own way… I’m not going to tab
it because it would probably be wrong and it’s easier to play your own way. Version
12’s is pretty good.
VERSE/CHORUS: It’s pretty much the same chords as the ones above but fingered differently
so when Tom sings he can finger these a little easier now it’s not that big of a deal but
if you want to sing this with your band you might find this is easier than what everybody
else has.

That’s about it if listen to the live song and play along with that. And if you still
don’t believe me about the chords watch the live show seriously. You’ll see what I’m
talking about… it’s also pretty cool too.
