Artist: sex pistols
Song: Holidays in the sun
Album: Never Mind The Bollocks (1977)
This was one of two songs on never mind the bollocks with Sid Vicious
in the credits! It was the 4th, and last single the pistols released,
in October 1977. This song is much more difficult than others like anarchy
in the UK or Belsen was a gas, but is worth learning! Also in this tab
I have included the solo, which other tabs have left out, but be warned
it is EXTREEMLY difficult! Good luck and here it is…
