Song: Underneath the stars
Artist: Kate Rusby
Composer: Kate Rusby
Album: Underneath the stars
Tabbed by DJ ('DiddyD' on ultimateGuitar.com)
1st Mar 2016
Listening to the fingerpicking, Kate doesn't always play
all the full strings. For example with the G, she doesn't
appear to play the top two high strings, so it's technically
a G5 chord. On the other chords she's selective whether
she plays the 1st string or not, so go with your own feeling.
Here's a live video performance of this song...

TUNING: D-A-D-G-B-D (Double dropped D)
Tune BOTH the top and the bottom E strings down a
full tone to D
CAPO: 5th fret (Will then sound in the recorded key of C)
Below are the chord shapes Kate uses in the dropped
tuning, please IGNORE ANY POP-UP CHORD BOXES the webpage
might automatically suggest.
Chord names and fret positions are relative to the capo:
G = 330000 Cmaj7 = x32000 Dadd4 = 054030
C = x32010 Em7 = 220000
