"Hummingbird" by Miss E
From the show Orange is the New Black (Season 3 Episode 1)
Tabbed by: Brandon Madsen (brandon dot madsen at gmail dot com)

Ukulele chord shapes used (standard tuning):
C: 0003
E: x442 or 4442 or 1402 (can't tell what she's doing and it sounds fine with any of these)
G: 0232 (this might not be the voicing she uses, feel free to correct)
Am: 2000
F: 2010
(*= downstrum)

These shapes will work on guitar too if you put the capo on fret 5 and imagine "xx" in front of each of them.
Miss E is the daughter of OITNB's creator, Jenji Kohan.  She wrote this song in 2014 at the age of 12.
