KT Tunstall - Uummannaq song
E|E|----------------------------||

E| 

I couldn't find a tab or chords for 
this incredible song of KT's new 
album,
so I decided to make one myself, 
with a little help from the KT 
Tunstall forum (thanks
to 'smash275').

For this song KT uses a 2-string 
guitar on which she actually just 
hits one note each
time (the bass note of course).
In the verse she hits each note and 
mutes it right after that.
This tab below is an indication of 
the tune she's playing.
I think the B D E part is quite 
accurate, but I'm not sure about the
 B A G A and A A parts.
If anyone's got suggestions please 
comment.
In the verse and bridge she strums 
each note.
I prefer to just strum the entire 
song (on acoustic guitar) in the 
chords given below,
but since not everyone might agree I
 put this little tab together.
Hope you'll like it.
Enjoy!

[Verse 1]
          Bm
Hold your fire
           D            E         
I'm coming out and I'll tell you 
   Bm
the truth
      D         E        Bm
I was trying to raise my roof
        A
Did you see it
       G      A  Bm
That I needed to prove
        D       E      Bm
That my stinger always stays
               D         E        
You said she's beautiful when she 
Bm
plays
      D              E      A
Did I hit you in the proper place
A
   Suddenly

[Chorus 1]
G          A                    F#m
I, oh well I could live in this town
     G
Five cold years before I
Continúa después del anuncio
    A                    F#m
Yes I could live in this town
G
Before I head for home

Bm D E (2x)

[Verse 2]
        Bm
It's my turn
         D         E         Bm
With the spotlight burning a hole
       D            E       Bm
But my bird-heart's turning cold
       A           G     A   Bm
As the temperature rises all around
       D          E       Bm
To the sound of a ticking bomb
              D        E           
And then it's not just showing off 
Bm
here
         D       E               
You know there's something going on 
A
here
      A
Going on here

Suddenly


[Chorus 2]
G          A                    F#m
I, oh well I could live in this town
     G
Five cold years before I
    A                    F#m
Yes I could live in this town
G
Five cold years
    A                    F#m
Yes I could live in this town
      G
Five cold years before I
     A                    F#m
Well I could live in this town
G
Before I head for home


[Bridge]
(mute)
And considered it odd
            Bm
That I ever stayed
     A
ever stayed
            Bm
That I ever stayed
     A
ever stayed
            Bm
That I ever stayed
     A
ever stayed
            Bm
That I ever stayed
     A
ever stayed
              Bm
You know that feeling you get
         E             D
when you don't want to leave
     Bm
That feeling you get
         E             D
when you don't want to leave
     Bm
That feeling when you don't want to 
leave
Bm
    Suddenly


[Chorus 3]
G          A                    F#m
I, oh well I could live in this town
     G
Five cold years before I
    A                    F#m
Yes I could live in this town
G
Five cold years
    A                    F#m
Yes I could live in this town
      G
Five cold years before I
     A                    F#m
Well I could live in this town
