"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

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
