Chords

Song: Overkill Artist: Men at work Composer: Colin Hay Album: Cargo Tabbed by DJ 13th Dec 2017 (Song will then sound in the recorded key of E) PLEASE NOTE: This version is tabbed to play in standard tuning, Colin Hay uses a double-dropped D tuning for his acoustic performances. IGNORE THE CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS that the website displays, they are generated automatically from a generic database and often don't show the best options for a particular chord progression. I would suggest using the voicings in the text column numbers below. The Gmaj7/B could be called a Bm#5 or a Bm(b6), but the shape is the most important thing. Chord names & fret positions are relative to the capo Gmaj7/B = x2403x Bm = x24432 F#7sus4 = 242422 Asus4 = x02230 A = x02220 F#7 = 242322 D5 = x57xxx Asus2 = x02200 G = 355433 A/C# = x47xxx A7sus4 = x02030 F#sus4 = 244422 C5 = x35xxx A7 = x02020 F# = 244322 G/B = x25xxx B5 = x24xxx N.C. = No chord Palm mute the bridge for the staccato verse chords Please take a second to swipe down to the bottom of the page and select a star rating for my tab, thanks ===================================================== [Intro] (See bottom of page for tablature of riff)

[Verse 1]
D5                  A/C#
     I can't get to sleep,

C5                      G/B
     I think about the    ...implications,

D5                A/C#
     Of diving in too deep,

C5                    G/B
     And possibly the   ...complications,

D5                 A/C#
     Especially at night,

C5                G/B
     I worry over    ...situations...

D5                       A/C#
  ...I know will be al - right,

C5                      G/B
     Perhaps its just i   - magination
[Chorus]
Bm                        Asus4   A   Asus4 A Asus2 A
    Day after day it rea- ppears,

Bm                                  A7sus4    A7
    Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear,

F#7sus4     F#7            G        Asus4   A
Ghosts ap - pear and fade  ...away
[Verse 2]
D5                     A/C#
     Alone between the sheets,

C5                    G/B
     Only brings ex - asperation,

D5                         A/C#
     It's time to walk the streets,

C5             G/B
     Smell the    ...desperation,

D5                           A/C#
     At least there's pretty lights,

C5                             G/B
     And though there's little   ...variation,

D5                    A/C#   C5              G/B
     It nullifies the night   ...from over - kill
[Chorus]
Bm                        Asus4   A   Asus4 A Asus2 A
    Day after day it rea- ppears,

Bm                                 A7sus4    A7
    Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear,

F#7sus4     F#7            G
Ghosts ap - pear and fade  ...away

Asus4                     A
        Come back another day
