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 debeaumont.louis@googlemail.com
Chords in brackets means they're not played but that's what fits.

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! No! No! No!"

D#m               E             A                   B          
Jackal legs and kangal dogs are cloaked in darkest forestry
D#m              E                C#m        G#m      E       A7/G
A woman dangles from a bridge on a thread of silver mercury

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! No! No! No!"

              B           C#m      G#m                 
I've seen the ghost of my anathema upon my bed
B                C#m              B/D#          
I need a body to knock me on the head and say
Em            E     
"No! No! No! 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             
I've seen the ghost of my anathema upon my bed
B               C#m              B/D#        G
I need a body to knock me on the head and say...

              B           C#m       G#m                 
I've seen the ghost of my anathema upon my bed
B                C#m              B/D#       (G)
