Turnip Farm tab

[Ramone]

Back again with another tab! I just bought the Start Choppin single and heard Turnip Farm and Forget It for the first time so I thought I tab one of them for y’all. I’ll probably post the second solo soon, I just need a bit more time to go over it and make sure it’s as accurate as possible.

J continues soloing over vocals (E Aeolian)

The verse is a very simple C to Em progression, J tends to pick notes from the chords instead of
playing the whole thing.

Verse
1 bar of C
1 bar of Em
Play 4 times

The chorus starts with a D however I suspect it is not a standard major chord, J also plays it
with a cool sounding picking pattern which I have no idea how to play.

1 bar of D
1 bar of C
2 bars of Em
Play twice

Back to verse
Chorus
Verse

Bridge

1 bar of B
1 bar of C
Play twice

1 bar of D
1 bar of C
Play twice

Play whole thing twice

Solo

After the solo J plays a weird lick which I’m really not sure about, this is the closest I got

E---------------
B--------0h1h3--
G--0-0-0--------
D--2-2-2--------
A--3-3-3--------
E---------------

Chorus
Verse (with solo over the top)
Fade out

Top 5 dino songs for me… I always wondered how much of it Kurt Fedora came up with (or what he did)..I know he’s been on a few albums….
Would be cool to have a tour with 2 guitar players to hear songs like this live. But I’m sure that would never happen!

empire2, reminded me few nights ago when Johnny Marr revealed a new song on a late show. I never thought I’d live to see the day the Dino frontman and Johnny Marr would play. I don’t think his band is named The Faith Healers anymore. Is that all Fedora played on, Turnip Farm and Drawerings?

fixed the tab formatting on here
