Come back anothe---r day
[Solo] played over the verse/chorus-chords
[verse 2]
I can't get to sleep
I think about the implications
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
It's just overkill
[Chorus]
Day after day it reappears
Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear
Ghosts appear and fade away
Ghosts appear and fade away
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
And thats about it. If u've seen the series scrubs they play this song in
episode 1 (season 2). There he, Colin Hay, takes different chords then I've
tabbed down here but it sounds the same anyway..so enjoy!
ps. this is my first tab so be nice ^^
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This solo is played by Colin Hay in the NBC hit comedy series Scrubs,
I would recommand the show to everyone, its brilliant and funny at the
same time, plus tons of guest appearances like Colin Hay himeself!
Even if you haven't seen the episode, you can play this between the chorus
and the verse to add more flavor to the song.
This is my first tab, so email me for corrections, thanks!
The 2nd guitar basically follow the chords though the verse, enjoy

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).
