"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
