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

Five cold year

s before I

[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
