Kunci Gitar Neil Finn - Driving Me Mad

“driving me mad” – neil finn / one nil ( 2001 )
tabbed by tom nichols tom@tomnichols . com 1st march 2011 , comments and suggestions welcome

to get you the feel for it . there are tabs out there with base position chords , but
actually the chord structure is even simpler to play this way i think .

the song is best played in standard tuning , based for the verse starting on the 7th
fret , with open strings ringing on in the background

man in my head
a namesake out of reach
strange days upon us now

hanging in the light above the bed

verse
hey diamond girl
restless in my head
say what lies between us
a host of everyday distractions
but most of all its music taking me
it’s driving me mad
still i can’t refuse
even when it’s driving me mad
i guess i’ll be all right
when tomorrow brings some relief
this dream can fill you up
so put it out and find what’s underneath

repeat bride but end on Em7 at base position
