"Driving Me Mad" - Neil Finn / One Nil (2001) Tabbed by Tom Nichols [email protected] 1st March 2011, comments and suggestions welcome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtfmQvndTiI&feature=related is a useful acoustic version 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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-enj-JGcTKs is a cover version I knocked out in case it is helpful 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 Verse ----- Em7/B Em9/B Em(1) Emadd11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 7^5 and back to Em(1) 10 9 7 7 7 7 0 0 Deadlines again Feel like hiding out Em7/B Em9/B Bm11/A Amadd9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7 5 0 0 7 7 10 9 0 0 7 7 x x No sign of comfort yet Am7/E Am6/E 0 0 8 7 5 5 7 7 0 0 0 0 Have a nap while no ones looking Bring some inspi ration to the Verse man in my head A namesake out of reach Strange days upon us now we leave the dust of conversation (move to standard Am at base position) Hanging in the light above the bed Chorus Am Em Bm11/A 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 0 2 2 2 1 0 2 2 0 0 0 Leave me now Em C/G G D A7sus4 0 0 3 2 0h2 0 1 0 3 3 (hammer back onto D) 0 0 0 2 0h2 2 2 0 0 0 2 3 2 0 0 0 3 3 x x Cos tonight its dri ving me mad (repeat chords) I guess I'll be all right But tonight it's driving me mad Verse Year after year Demons always come Fail to materialise Way beyond my understanding Find my only comfort in your hands Hold me now Cos tonight its driving me mad This dream can fill you up But tonight it's driving me mad Bridge Em(1) Emadd11 Em(1) Emadd1/A 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 (and repeat) 7 5 7 7 7 7 7 7 0 0 0 5 Do do do do dooo (etc) 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
