Carnival by Bikini Kill
Upbeat punk rock ditty about girls being exploited at the carnival, from the band's 1994
release, 'The C.D. Version of the First Two Records'. It's extremely easy to play, only
two chords (E and A). Listen to the song to get the rhythm and timing right, but it's
really, really simple. The first verse of Kathleen talking has drums only, and the guitar
comes in after that. Play with distortion.

INTRO VERSE:
This is a song about the seedy underbelly of the carnival
The part that only the kids know about
This is a song about sixteen-year-old girls giving carnies head
For free rides and hits of pot
I wanna go, I wanna go, I wanna go
EI wanna go to the carnival
ABut I know that it costs sixteen dollars now
EI wanna go to the carnival
ABut I know that it costs sixteen dollars now
ERound, round, round..A.
ERound, round, round..A.
EI'll win that Motley Crue mirror
AIf it fucking kills me
EGonna lose twenty dollars while I'm there
ASee the girls with the feathered hair
EThey're wearing plastic, not real leather
ABoots that go way up to there
ERound, round, round..A.
ERound, round, round..A.
EIt's by the Lacey mall
AThat's where you'll find me, y'all E
