Here's a simplified version of the song, for people who like me who searched for a
nice easy version and only found complicated tabs involving strange tunings and such.
This is also the first time I've posted any guitar tablature/chords online.
Try to mute the strings a bit.
D A C
I can't get to sleep
G D
I think about the implications
A C
Of diving in too deep
G D
And possibly the complications
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/c/colin_hay/overkill_crd_ver_6.html ]
A C
Especially at night
G D
I worry over situations
A C
I know I'll be alright
G Bmin
Perhaps it's just imagination
Asus A Bmin
Day after day it reappears
Asus A
Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear
F#sus F# G Asus
Ghosts appear and fade away
A
Come back another day...
That's about it. Just repeat for the other verses and choruses.
Also (if you're looking to be technical):
During the acoustic guitar solo he only plays the Bmin to Asus/A once before going
to the F#sus, and completely cuts out the A (Come back another day). Just a note :D
The F#sus on "ghost appear" can just be played F# or f# minor. All sounds fine.
