Fiya by Tune Yards- Best Ukulele Song I've Heard since Beirut's Postcards from Italy

Anyone that can tab this is my hero. I've been trying for weeks. I'm convinced she's using a weird tuning. I've tabbed all of Beirut's songs, but this one I can't seem to get.

Here's a much clearer video I found...

Can't really tab much, but I just saw them @ the LA natural history museum last friday!

I figured it out! The problem was the tuning. She's using a Tenor with a high-G instead of a low G. My tenor has a low g, so I couldn't figure it out after several tries! The tuning is

C# G B E

It's pretty easy from there. I'm gonna tab and make a video for it tomorrow.

Idk if you noticed but ukulelehunt did another tab for her other song too!
