Uummannaq Song by KT Tunstall
Uummannaq Song
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.
In the verse and bridge she strums each note.
Intro (synth):
Bm D E x3

[Verse 1]
Bm
Hold your fire
D E Bm
I'm coming out and I'll tell you 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 Bm
You said she's beautiful when she 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
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 Bm
And then it's not just showing off here
D E A
You know there's something going on 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

You know that feeling you get
E D
when you don't want to leave

That feeling you get
E D
when you don't want to leave
Bm
That feeling when you don't want to leave

Suddenly
[Chorus 3]
