Men At Work - Overkill

Great Song, I hope the Tabs work for ya!
-JoDo-
Intro: F# F C# Bb
F# F C# G#F# C#
I can't get to sleep

E B
I think about the implications

F# C#
Of diving in too deep

E B
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
Perhaps it’s just my imagination

D#m C#
Day after day it reappears

Ebm C#
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
Ebm C# B C#
Ghosts appear and fade away
Alone between the sheets
Only brings exasperation
It's time to walk the streets
Smell the desperation
At least there's pretty lights
And though there's little variation
It nullifies the night
From overkill
Especially at night
It's just overkill
===
I've played this over & over again with the recorded song.
It's Dead On !
I use some variations of the chords listed, but this will give you the general
chords in the song, and you can go from there.
Remember, "Bar Chords" are not always the best selection of a chord
on an Acoustic Guitar (Try Variations.) I hope this helps some people, that's
all I'm trying to do.

Overkill – Guitar Solo
Standard Tuning (EADGBE)
I'm not sure if he plays parts like the beginning in those frets or in higher
frets on strings (because when you listen to the first slide down, it might
sound like it goes than the open B, but I'm not sure), but I decided to tab it
like this, because you're more of the metallic sound Colin's got in that song,
too (maybe because he plays it this, maybe because of his guitar/strings).

OVERKILL – MEN AT WORK

Men At Work - Overkill

Great Song, I hope the Tabs work for ya!

I can't get to sleep

I think about the implications

Of diving in too deep

And possibly the complications

I worry over situations

I know will be alright

Perhaps it’s just my imagination

Day after day it reappears

Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear

Ghosts appear and fade away

Alone between the sheets

Only brings exasperation

It's time to walk the streets

Smell the desperation

At least there's pretty lights

And though there's little variation

It nullifies the night

Day after day it reappears

Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear

Ghosts appear and fade away

I can't get to sleep

I think about the implications

Of diving in too deep

And possibly the complications

I worry over situations

I know will be alright

It's just overkill

Day after day it reappears

Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear

Ghosts appear and fade away

Intro: Sax Solo

Lead Solo (Follows the same pattern)
