Colin Hay é um músico escocês, mas conhecido por australiano, já que desde a adolescência morou na Austrália.
Seu nome de batismo é Colin James Hay, e ele nasceu em 1953 em Saltcoats, uma localidade da Escócia. A família se mudou para a Austrália quando ele tinha 14 anos. Nessa época, Colin começou a se interessar em tocar guitarra e cantar. Em 1978, junto com Ron Strykert (guitarra), Greg Ham (sax e flauta), John Rees (baixo) e Jerry Speiser (bateria), formaram o Men at Work, que se tornou um sucesso e um ícone do surf-rock.

The chords above each diagram are the basic note the chord is set around, and if you choose to play just those chords instead of the tabbed version, it will sound similar and it will work as well.
Strumming pattern is a simple chug, but you can use video or audio for help if needed.
Here are the lyrics with the chords in the appropriate places for guidance:
[Verse 1]
EB I can't get to sleep DA I think about the implications EB Of diving in too deep DA And possibly the complications EB Especially at night DA I worry over situations EB I know will be alright DA Perhaps its just my imagination
[Chorus]
C#mBsusB Day after day it reappears C#mBsusB Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear G#sus4G#Asus Ghosts appear and fade away BsusB
[Verse 2]
EB Alone between the sheets DA Only brings exasperation EB It's time to walk the streets DA Smell the desperation EB At least there's pretty lights DA And though there's little variation EB It nullifies the night DA from overkill
[Chorus]
C#mBsusB Day after day it reappears C#mBsusB Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear G#sus4G#Asus Ghosts appear and fade away BsusB Come back another day
(The original version by Men At Work has a solo here but this acoustic version does not)
[Verse 3]
EB I can't get to sleep DA I think about the implications EB Of diving in too deep DA And possibly the complications EB Especially at night DA I worry over situations EB I know will be alright DA It's just overkill
[Chorus]
C#mBsusB Day after day it reappears C#mBsusB Night after night my heartbeat shows the fear G#sus4G#Asus Ghosts appear and fade away G#sus4G#Asus Ghosts appear and fade away G#sus4G#Asus Ghosts appear and fade away
