My tab for Stornoway's Knock Me On The Head from their new album Tales From Terra-Firma. I think it's pretty accurate, only did it by ear. The E's in verses are played at the 7th fret, except for ones before the A7 which are played non-bar version. Any requests/suggestions/comment post below or email [email protected] Chords in brackets means they're not played but that's what fits. Tuning: D# G# C# F# A# D# (half step down from standard) Intro: E G#m E G#m B Dm D#m D#m E B There's a hunger in the air and lemons swollen in the trees D#m D#m7 E C#m G#m E A7/G F# When shadows fall across the moon, I strain my ears towards the breeze D#m E B A wasted summer listening, secluded as a cemetery D#m E C#m G#m E A7 Withered limbs under the sand for an hourglass eternity B C#m G#m You hung an albatross around my neck B C#m G#m When you needed to knock me on the head and say G F# "No!

Instrumental: E D#m E B I saw a feathered silhouette on the crest of unforgiving waves D#m E B C# F# It hovered over salty air and I couldn't tear my eyes away D#m E A B And somewhere in between the lines I drifted into fantasy D#m E G E A7/G But you're the only open book, a portal to a star-crossed sea (B) (C#m) (G#m) You hung an albatross around my neck (B) (C#m) (G#m) When you needed to knock me on the head and say G F# "No!
