                        Holiday Acoustic - The Get Up Kids
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Sean Hummer

Someone requested that I tab this song into an acoustic version so I gave it a
shot. I don't know that The Get Up Kids have ever actually played this song
acoustically but these chords can also be used for the rhythm to the electric
version.

Beneath the chords I included a tab of how to play this acoustically with my
version of the lead/melody included in the rhythm chords.

Tuning: Standard

Chords used:
E -   022100
C#m - x46654
G#m - 466444
A -   x02220
F#m - 244222
B -   x24442


E                          C#m
What became of everyone I used to know?
Abm                          A
Where did our respectable convictions go?
E                                          C#m
Your words don?t match the story that your actions show
Abm                A
  But what do I know?

F#m                       Abm     A
  I?m sure you can?t help but remembering
C#m                     B             A
I thought that you?d be one not to forget
C#m               B           A  
Remembering?s not helping you yet

    E
Say goodnight
     C#m
Mean goodbye
           A                   B                C#m      E
I know you think my life will stop when you?re away
A           B
Maybe I can see you on
E         C#m
Holidays, worlds away
A              B             C#m        E
I?ve never forgotten all our yesterdays
    A              B
I?m lucky if we?re speaking on the
E
Holidays

C#m    Abm     A


E                              C#m
The evidence presents itself accusingly
     Abm                             A
Your absence speaking everything you think of me
E                             C#m
Now that I am faced with opportunity
Abm                  A
  You?re not remembering

F#m              Abm A
  I?m not asking you anyway
C#m             B               A
And even if you ever could cave in
  C#m           B          A
I wouldn?t know where to begin

    E
Say goodnight
     C#m
Mean goodbye
           A                   B                C#m     E
I know you think my life will stop when you?re away
A           B
Maybe I can see you on
E         C#m
Holidays, worlds away
A             B              C#m        E
I?ve never forgotten all our yesterdays
    A              B
I'm lucky if we?re speaking on
C#m   Abm
Holidays
A    B
Holidays

F#m    Abm      A
F#m    Abm      A
F#m    Abm      A

    E
Say goodnight
     C#m
Mean goodbye
           A                   B                C#m     E
I know you think my life will stop when you?re away
    A              B
I'm lucky if we?re speaking on
C#m   Abm
Holidays
A    F#m      E
Holidays


This is another version I created on acoustic that is very similar to the one
above except it includes some lead/melody for those wishing for an acoustic
version that sounds more like the album.

Intro/Verse-
e|0------0------0------0-----------4--------4-4------------------------------|
B|0------0------0------0-----------5--------5-5------------------------------|
G|1------1------1------1-----------6--------6-6--6-6-------------------------|
D|2-x4---4-x4---2-x4---4-x4--------6--x12---4-4--2-2-------------------------|
A|2------2------2------2-----------4--------4-4--4-4-------------------------|
E|0------0------0------0-----------------------------------------------------|

e|0------0------0------0-----------------------------------------------------|
B|0------0------0------0-----------0--------0--0--0--------------------------|
G|x------x------x------1-----------x--------x--x--x--------------------------|
D|1-x4---2-x4---4-x4---2-x4--------4-x4-----6--4--2--------------------------|
A|2------2------2------2-----------0--------0--0--0--------------------------|
E|0------0------0------0-----------------------------------------------------|


Prechorus-
e|2~---4x---0~------4-4--4-4--0----2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2----0-0-0--0-0-0--0--------|

E|2~---4x--------------------------------------------------------------------|

(I'll update the chorus/etc. when I'm finished with this rhythm/lead hybrid)
