Learned this by ear, it turned out to be pretty simple. This is my first tab, I
hope it helps some people :) The words are matched up to get the timing of the
notes down. Once you've got the timing down, the full lyrics are at the bottom of the page.

LYRICS
(verse) Another head hangs lowly, child is slowly taken
When the violence caused such silence, who are we mistaken?
(bridge) But, you see, it's not me, it's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs, and their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head, they are crying
(chorus)What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie-e-e
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie-e-e
Oh, oh---mmm--
(verse)Another mother's breaking heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence, we must be mistaken
(bridge) It's the same old thing since 1916
In your head, in your head, they're still fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs, and their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head, they are dying
(chorus)In your head, In your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie-e-e
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie-e-e
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh---mmmm---
