This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

FROM SOUNDS OF TURNIPS

Transcribed by Adam Morris

This has got to be the most UNpumpkinesque

song I have heard by SP, but it is a GREAT

song. Very STPish I reckon.

Standard Tuning

INTRO is is a relatively slow slide down from

the 12th fret on the low E-string

Main Riff (Played with strong palm muting later)

|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------------|
|--------------------------------*------------------------|
|-0--0-0--7--10~~--0-7-10~--0--0-0-7h10-6~~-0-0-0-5\3-----|

Replace this 0 with a 6 each 2nd time played.

CHORUS

|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|-4--4--4/7-7/9-9-9-\-4--4--7--7--7-7----------------|
|-4--4--4/7-7/9-9-9-\-4--4--7--7--7-7----------------|
|-2--2--2/5-5/7-7-7-\-2--2--5--5--5-5--0-------------|

I can't remember which of these parts comes next in

the song, but they are here any way :)

There is a solo in here somewhere that I don't know

sorry...Randy??

Anyway..the part out of the solo is this:

(very similar to the end part of Drown I

might add!

|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|--7~~~~~~----\2~~~~---/5~~~-----\2~~~~--------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|

Then this is repeated a fair few times.

|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|--9\7/9-9-------------------------------------------|
|--9\7/9-9---7-8-9-10/12-----------------------------|
|--7\5/7-7---7-8-9-10/12-----------------------------|
|----------0-5-6-7--8/10--0--------------------------|

Then the part that sounds like it is dying.

|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|--9-x-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-x-9---------|
|--9-x-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-x-9-x-9---------|
|--7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7---------|
|--7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7-x-7---------|

Then back to the fast sort of bit above.

Then goes to this bit a couple of times.

|----------------------------------------------------|

|--------7b-(hold) r----------7b-r-------------------|

|--9--9-----------------9--9---------7-/-9~~~~~------|
|--9--9-----------------9--9-------------------------|
|--7--7-----------------7--7-------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|

This leads into the really SNAZZY bit.

With lots of palm muting.

|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------------------|
|---7p5-----------------------6----------------------|
|--------7p6p5\3-3--0-3-5-6-7------------------------|

Then the above riff changes to this slower riff.

|---------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------|
|---------------------------------------------------|
|--------------7-9----------------------------------|
|--5--/7--/8-9-5-7----------------------------------|
|--3--/5--/6-7--------------------------------------|

Apart from the solo and some other lead parts that is

the whole song.

Corrections can most likely be made.
