KT Tunstall - Uummannaq song
----------------------------
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]
Hold your fire
I'm coming out
and I'll tell
you the truth
I was trying t
o raise my roo
f
Did you see it
That I needed
to prove
That my stinge
r always stays
You said she's
beautiful whe
n she plays
Did I hit you
in the proper
place
Suddenly
[Chorus 1]
I, oh well I c
ould live in t
his town
Five cold year
s before I
Yes I could li
ve in this tow
n
Before I head
for home
(2x)
[Verse 2]
It's my turn
With the spotl
ight burning a
hole
But my bird-he
art's turning
cold
As the tempera
ture rises all
around
To the sound o
f a ticking bo
mb
And then it's
not just showi
ng off here
You know there
's something g
oing on here
Going on here
Suddenly
[Chorus 2]
I, oh well I c
ould live in t
his town
Five cold year
s before I
Yes I could li
ve in this tow
n
Five cold year
s
Yes I could li
ve in this tow
n
Five cold year
s before I
Well I could l
ive in this to
wn
Before I head
for home
[Bridge]
(mute)
And considered it odd
That I ever st
ayed
ever stayed
That I ever st
ayed
ever stayed
That I ever st
ayed
ever stayed
That I ever st
ayed
ever stayed
You know that
feeling you ge
t
when you don't
want to leave
That feeling y
ou get
when you don't
want to leave
That feeling w
hen you don't
want to leave
Suddenly
[Chorus 3]
I, oh well I c
ould live in t
his town
Five cold year
s before I
Yes I could li
ve in this tow
n
Five cold year

Yes I could li

Five cold year

Well I could l

[Outro]

Before I head

And considered it odd
That I ever stayed
