KT Tunstall - "Boo Hoo"
Album - "KT Tunstall's Acoustic Extravaganza" - Relentless 2006
Special thanks to UG user Algis_am http://profile.ultimate-guitar.com/Algis_am/ from
whom I've taken the basis of the song's chords version.
Hard to write down due to lots of syncopation uses. Every time the dots appear in the
transcription - it means that's it, and tho following note is a bit earlier, than it looks
like. I added the 4/4 counting.
To make it easy... this:
|0-0.000-|
1 2 3 4
is really this:
\ / \PM/\ /
|0---0---0.-00.-0|
1 2 3 4
So let's say the dot will indicate the first note before the accent, so the next note
(after the dot) is shorter and weaker and it's stuck to the following , stressed note.
Luckily the verses are played mostly without those.
. - shortened note - in the syncopation
PM - palm mute - in the staccato
\ - down stroke
/ - up stroke
The "#" sequence is a modification of the G chord:
#1: x10033
#2: x00033

verse 1:
G Am
If I was lookin' for you
D7
Would you be easy to find?
G. #
Or would I be lookin' all night?
G Am
And if I got lost
D7
Would you go lookin' for me?
G #1 #2
Or would you be alright on your own?
