Intro: A F# Bm E7
A F#
Holiday,
Bm E7 A F#
Oh what a lovely day today,
Bm E7 A F#
I'm so glad they sent me away,
Bm E7 A F# Bm Eb E7
To have a little holiday today, holiday,
A F#
Holiday,
Bm E7 A F#
And I'm just standing on the end of a pier,
Bm E7 A F#
Hoping and dreaming you were here,
Bm E7 A
To share my little holiday,
A F# Bm E7
Lookin' in the sky, for a gap in the clouds,
A F# Bm E7
Sometimes I think that sun ain't never coming out,
A A7/G D/F# Bm(b5)/F
But I'd rather be here than in that dirty old town,
E E7
I had to leave the city cos it broke me down,
A F# Bm E7 A F#
Oh holiday, oh what a lovely day today,
Bm E7 A F#
I think I'll get down on my little knees and pray, thank you Lord,
Bm E7 A F# Bm E7
Thank heaven for this holiday, today,
D A
I'm leaving insecurity behind me,
D A
The environmental pressures got me down,
A A7/G D/F# Bm(b5)/F
I don't need no sedatives to pull me round,
E E7
I don't need no sleeping pills to help me sleep sound,
A F# Bm E7 A F#
Oh holiday, oh what a lovely day today,
Bm E7 A F#
I think I'll get down on my knees and pray, that's what I'll do
Bm E7 A
Thank heaven for this holiday,
A F# Bm E7
Lying on the beach with my back burned rare,
A F# Bm E7
And the salt gets in my blisters and the sand gets in my hair,
A A7/G D/F# Bm(b5)/F
And the sea's an open sewer, But I really couldn't care,
E E7
I'm breathing through my mouth so I don't have to sniff the air,
A F# Bm E7 A F#
Oh holiday, Oh what a lovely day today,
Bm E7 A F#
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.
