Intro: AF#BmE7AF#
Holiday,
BmE7AF#
Oh what a lovely day today,
BmE7AF#
I'm so glad they sent me away,
BmE7AF#BmEbE7
To have a little holiday today, holiday,
AF#
Holiday,
BmE7AF#
And I'm just standing on the end of a pier,
BmE7AF#
Hoping and dreaming you were here,
BmE7A
To share my little holiday,
AF#BmE7
Lookin' in the sky, for a gap in the clouds,
AF#BmE7
Sometimes I think that sun ain't never coming out,
AA7/GD/F#Bm5-/F
But I'd rather be here than in that dirty old town,
EE7
I had to leave the city cos it broke me down,
AF#BmE7AF#
Oh holiday, oh what a lovely day today,
BmE7AF#
I think I'll get down on my little knees and pray, thank you Lord,
BmE7AF#BmE7
Thank heaven for this holiday, today,
DA
I'm leaving insecurity behind me,
DA
The environmental pressures got me down,
AA7/GD/F#Bm5-/F
I don't need no sedatives to pull me round,
EE7
I don't need no sleeping pills to help me sleep sound,
AF#BmE7AF#
Oh holiday, oh what a lovely day today,
BmE7AF#
I think I'll get down on my knees and pray, that's what I'll do
BmE7A
Thank heaven for this holiday,
AF#BmE7
Lying on the beach with my back burned rare,
AF#BmE7
And the salt gets in my blisters and the sand gets in my hair,
AA7/GD/F#Bm5-/F
And the sea's an open sewer, But I really couldn't care,
EE7
I'm breathing through my mouth so I don't have to sniff the air,
AF#BmE7AF#
Oh holiday, Oh what a lovely day today,
BmE7AF#
I'm so glad they sent me away,
Bm E7 A E7 (slide to A)
To have a little holiday.
Note: In the E...E7 part there is a nice descending bass line. Also I think the
major/minor qualities of the chords are alright.
