Using Aliases in Select - Mailing list pgsql-sql

I join 2 tables that both have a row "mytext".
I want to use both text fields in the select (projection) clause, giving
alias names to them.

select tab1.name, tab1.mytext text1, tab2.mytext text2
from tab1, tab2
where tab1.tab1_id = tab2.tab1_id

but ...

ERROR:  Column 'mytext' is ambiguous

Is there a solution to this ?
