Overkill Solo Chords
by Colin Hay
Overkill Solo by Colin Hay is a moderately challenging guitar song played in the key of B. It uses the chords B. Use the transpose and diagram tools on this page to change the key, see each shape, or simplify the chords.
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).
