Boo Hoo KT Tunstall
KT Tunstall - "Boo Hoo"
Album - "KT Tunstall's Acoustic Extravaganza" - Relentless 2006
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:
Intro:
|[#1]-33.[#2]-333|
|-33.-333|
|-00.-000|
|-00.-000|
|1-1.0-00|
