Tuning: E A D G B E

This is based on the version by rabidGadfly https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/c/colin_hay/overkill_acoustic_ver2_crd.htm and the YouTube-Tutorial by Colin Hay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWbjnuWU4iQ I basically just changed the chords in the chart to more correct/interesting sounding versions. Also in Colin Hay's tutorial he plays everything in dropped D tuning, but I don't think this is neccessary so I rewrote it for standard tuning. This makes the song a bit more difficult to play. But it should sound better because a lot of the chords are actually played with an open G string. If you want to play it in E, just place the capo on the 2nd fret.
