Knock Me On The Head by Stornoway
Knock Me On The Head
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! 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)
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# G
I need a body to knock me on the head and say...
Instrumental: B A7/G B C#m
G A B
"No! 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# (G)
I need a body to knock me on the head and say
(B)
"No! No! No! No!"
