Hey this is my first submission to Ultimate Guitar, and I'm pretty sure it's correct...enjoy! Intro: Eb, Gm, Eb, Gm, Bb Verse 1: Dm Eb Bb There's a hunger in the air, a lemon swollen in the trees Dm Eb Cm Gm Eb F But shadows fall across the moon, I strain my ears towards the breeze Dm Eb Bb I wasted summer listening, secluded as a cemetery Dm Eb Gm Cm Cb Withered limbs under the sand, for an hourglass eternity Chorus: Bb Gm You are an albatross around my neck Bb Gm When you needed to knock me on the head and say F# F No no no no Verse 2: (I honestly don't know if these lyrics are correct or not... sorry!) Dm Eb Jackal legs and tangled dogs Ab Eb Bb Are clutching darkest forestry Dm Eb Cm Ebm A woman dangles from a bridge on a thread of silver mercury Chorus: Bb Gm You are an albatross around my neck Bb Gm When you needed to knock me on the head and say F# F No no no no ( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/stornoway/knock_me_on_the_head_crd_ver_2.html ) Bb Cm I've seen the ghost of my anathema upon my bed Bb Gm I need a body to knock me on the head and say Eb Ebm No no no no Bridge: Dm Eb Bb I saw a feathered silhouette on the crest of un forbidden waves Dm Bb Eb Gm EC It hovered over salty air and I couldn't tear my eyes away Verse 3: Dm Eb Ab Bb And somewhere in between the lines, I drifted into fantasy Dm Eb F# Eb Ebm But you're the only open book, a portal to a star crossed sea Chorus: (A capella) You are an albatross around my neck When you needed to knock me on the head and say F# F No no no no Bb Cm I've seen the ghost of my anathema upon my bed Bb Gm F# I need a body to knock me on the head and say Instrumental: Bb, Ebm, Bb, Cm Chorus: Ebm Bb No no no no no Bb Bbm Bb I've seen the ghost of my anathema upon my bed Bb Cm I need a body to knock me on the head and say Ebm Bb No no no no
