Gone Till November The Carnival By Wyclef Jean Transcribed by Jake Trevick trace@imsa.edu OK, so you wanna learn how to play this song. You better note that I'm not including all the violin parts and the like. This will make this version of the song sound a bit different than the original, perhaps a bit more empty, but I added a chord for the verse which does not exist in the original to fill out the sound, for you purists, wyclef is basically fooling around with the intro form throughout the verses. This is what wyclef is playing while he talks INTRO: ------------------------------------------------------------ e:----------0-0--------------0-0-----------------0---------- b:-------0------0----------------0------0-0-2-3----3---2-2-- g:-1-1-2----------1-1-2-2-1-1-------1-1---------0----0------ d:---------------------------------------------------------- a:---------------------------------------------------------- E:---------------------------------------------------------- e:-----0-----------------0-------------0-------------------- b:-0-0---0-----0-0-2-3-----3---3-2-0-0---0------------------ g:---------1-1---------0-----0-------------1---------------- d:-------------------------------------------2-------------- a:---------------------------------------------------------- E:---------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------ Some chords that i just dont know the names of: E1 E2 A1 ----x------ -----------x-----------x-------------------- ----3------ -----------2-----------x-------------------- ----1------ -----------1-----------2-------------------- ----2------ -----------2-----------1-------------------- ----x------ -----------x-----------2-------------------- ----x------ -----------x-----------x-------------------- Intro: (spoken) I dedicate this record, "The Carnival" to all you brothers takin' long trips down south, Virginia, Baltimore, all around the world, and your girl gets this message that you ain't comin' back. She's sittin' back in the room, the lights are off, she's cryin ', and then my voice comes in POW!, in the middle of the night, and this is what I told her for you: Chorus: (sung)
