i'd like to take this time and say that blink 182 sucks.. but their music
is easy to play and a beginner can make good use of this tab.

okay.. here's how i play carousel, it sounds good and i think it's all correct..
have fun with this.
here might be tinnnny little mistakes i've made but you can figure them out by ear..


Intro x2 (this is actually played differently by mark on bass, clean
but this tab here on clean guitar sounds great)
e----------------------------------------------------------------------------
b----------------------------------------------------------------------------
g----------------------------------------------------------------------------
d---4-4-5-7-5-4--------------------------------------------------------------
a-5-------------5----4-4-5-7-5-4-----7-7-8-10-10-9-9------5----5-----5---5-5-
E-----------------5--------------5-7------------------3-3---3-3--3-3---3-----


okay this next part here is fast up/down stroking, still bass..
this is NOT correct for bass, but the bass tab
sounds bad on guitar and this sounds good on clean guitar

play this 2x

g-----------------------------
d-----------------------------
a-9--x7--7--x6--9--x6--5--x6--
E-7------5------7------3------


in the 2 versions of the song this next part here differs..
in the original from buddha it just plays the above riff again..
in the live version from the mark, tom, and travis show it plays this,
which is a lot better sounding in my opinion.. not 100% sure on my x#'s

e-------------------------------------------------------------------

g-------------------------------------------------------------------
d-------------------------------------------------------------------
a-5--x7--7--x6--9--x6--10--x6--10--x3?--9--x6--7--x6--5--x6--4--x5?-
E-3------5------7------8-------8--------7------5------3------2------

okay now tom breaks in with the distorted guitar with easy ass power chords
i'm not gonna write down the # of strokes but its not hard to find out
this is played 2x

this part has been tabbed many different ways, here's how it sounds
to me and sounds good when i play it

aight now this is the verse riff just repeat this until the chorus
e-----------------------
b-----------------------
g--7--------------------
d--7-----7-----9-----5--

e-----------------------
b-----------------------
g--7-----9--------------
d--7-----9-----9-----5--
a--5-----7-----9-----5--

after the first chorus, play this again..
"i guess it's just another night alone........"
e------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
g------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
d--4-4-4-4-5-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-5-4-7-7-5-4-2-4-4-4-5-2-2-2-2-2-0-0h4h5-0-0-2-0-0h4h5-0-0-2-0-
a------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

keep goin at this until it obviously stops on the track and you're ready for the solo
e-----------------------
b-----------------------
g--7--------------------
d--7-----7-----9-----5--
a--5-----7-----9-----5--
E--------5-----7-----3--

okay many people tab this solo differently but this sounds perfect and its very easy
sometimes i experiment with using hammer-ons here and it sounds great so maybe you want to.
play this 4x VERY FAST..
