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.
