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!

      D (xx0232@1)       E (022100@1)      BmI (x24432@1)was trying to raise my roof
        ADid (x02220@1)you see it
       G (320003@1)    A (x02220@1)BmThat (x24432@1)I needed to prove

[Verse 2]
        BmIt's (x24432@1)my turn
         D (xx0232@1)       E (022100@1)       BmWith (x24432@1)the spotlight burning a hole
       D (xx0232@1)          E (022100@1)     BmBut (x24432@1)my bird-heart's turning cold
       A (x02220@1)         G (320003@1)   A (x02220@1) BmAs (x24432@1)the temperature rises all around
