Artist: Turn
Song: Too Much Make Up
Album: Antisocial
Tabbed by: Robert Corcoran

Hi this is Rob who played guitar with Turn in the Village, so you asked for this and I tabbed it (Guitar and bass). It’s note perfect though Ollie may play the same note somewhere else, but it’s still the same note! Anyways this is how to play the classic Too Much Make Up, it’s more than just A and E as some knob jockey said. enjoy…

Guitar:

Break:
This is the bit Ollie stole from the pixies song River Euphrates on the album Surfer Rosa. This is also when I took over on guitar in the Village that night (Oh the memories!!!). Not exactly sure what goes on with respect to the guitar here. I’ll just show you what I play. (Initially on one string the when the band comes in (I’m not sure if it’s an octave below or a harmony) on two strings like this:

e-----------------------------------------------
b-----------------------------------------------
g-8-9-8-9-8-9-8-9-8-9-8-9-8-9-8-9-8-9-8-9-9-9-9-
d-------------------------8-9-8-9-8-9-8-9-9-9-9-
a-----------------------------------------------
e-----------------------------------------------

Ah ee aye aye aye etc…    AH EE AYE AYE AYE WOOOOH.

Chorus 3:
Same as chorus’ one and two BUT crucially the second guitar comes in again an plays this little ascending riff while guitar one plays the A major chord it… ah screw it I’ll put guitar one on top and guitar two on the bottom. If you can’t understand what I mean… you’re a knob jockey!

You’ve got too much make up on,   OHHH YEAH!!!

End just before you would normally strike the E major chord as Ollie screams “OONNNNNNNNNN”

I can’t explain it any easier than that. 

Bass:
Pretty easy too you’ll have to listen to the song to get the rhythm as there’s a pause in the verse. 

Verse 1
g-----------------------------------------------
d-----------------------------------------------
a---5-7—(Little Pause)------(Little Pause, repeat)
e-0-------------------0-3-0---------------------

Last time before the chorus play:
g-----------------------------------------------
d-----------------------------------------------
a-14-----12-14-12-----------5-7-----------------
e-------------------------0------------0-3-0----

Chorus 1
Follows the guitar,
g------------------------------------------------------
d------------------------------------------------------
a-0-0-0-0-0-(lots of times)--5--------------5----------
e--------------------------0---7-5-3-0-0--0---7-5-3-0-0

Verse 2: Same as verse one,
Chorus 2: Same as chorus one, then comes the break:

After the second chorus is through let the E note ring out then when Oliver starts to go Ah ee ah ee play this as the crescendo builds:

g----------------------------------------------------------------
d----------------------------------------------------------------
a----------------------------------------------------------------
e-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-(back to start)

Last time play this and then go back to your chorus part til the end.

g----------------------------------------------------------------
d----------------------------------------------------------------
a-------------------------------------------------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7
e-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5----------------
