Teitur - I Run the Carousel

      
 
 Notes:
 + On the album he seems to play the C and G/B chords as indicated on the left.
 I included alternate fingerings in parenthesis on the right as an easier version
 (plus the transitions are smoother when you stay in one position on the neck).
 + The general pattern for picking in the verse is low-mid-high-mid. He includes
 variations throughout where he just plays low-high-low-high, such as F and Fsus2.
 + I'm not entirely certain that the low E string rings throughout all the chords
 in the chorus. But without it, the chorus sounds kind of weak. The ringing
 low E adds power, so I included it.
 + The dashes for the chords in the chorus are just to remind you to strum the
 chord once and then directly strum the next chord following the dash. Listen
 to the song and you'll get the pattern.
 + After the second and third chorus there is a weird transition section. It's hard
 to tell what exactly is going on here, but the overall harmony sounds like
 the indicated G#maj7 chord so just play around with that.

 C          G/B     
  I run the carousel
 F5              G5         
  With horses and tinkerbell
 C          G/B    F    Fsus2 
 Late night by the can*l
 C             G/B      
  You wouldn't notice me
 F5       G5       
  I have a tendency
    C     G/B       F    Fsus2 
 To blend  with the music

  Like drapes in a summertown
 C        G/B          F    Fsus2 
 Husbands kindle their wives
 C             G/B        
  Sometimes it tortures me
 F5               G5       
  The envy and the jealousy
 C      G/B   F    Fsus2 
  But I never panic

 C                   G/B           
  Sometimes when the birds fly over
 F5                     G5                
 I look up, but I don't want to go nowhere
       C             G/B        F   Fsus2 
 I got lives to save  under the open
 C            G/B        
  I live as a mystery man
 F5                G5     
  And I sleep in a caravan
 C      G/B       F   Fsus2 
  And I love everybody
