A5 F#5
Holiday,
B5 E5 A5 F#5
Oh what a lovely day today,
B5 E5 A5 F#5
I'm so glad they sent me away,
B5 E5 A5 F#5 B5 Eb5 E5
To have a little holiday today, holiday,
A5 F#5
Holiday,
B5 E5 A5 F#5
And I'm just standing on the end of a pier,
B5 E5 A5 F#5
Hoping and dreaming you were here,
B5 E5 A5
To share my little holiday,
A5 F#5 B5 E5
Lookin' in the sky, for a gap in the clouds,
A5 F#5 B5 E5
Sometimes I think that sun ain't never coming out,
A5 A5 D5 B5
But I'd rather be here than in that dirty old town,
E5 E5
I had to leave the city cos it broke me down,
A5 F#5 B5 E5 A5 F#5
Oh holiday, oh what a lovely day today,
B5 E5 A5 F#5
I think I'll get down on my little knees and pray, thank you Lord,
B5 E5 A5 F#5 B5 E5
Thank heaven for this holiday, today,
D5 A5
I'm leaving insecurity behind me,
D5 A5
The environmental pressures got me down,
A5 A5 D5 B5
I don't need no sedatives to pull me round,
E5 E5
I don't need no sleeping pills to help me sleep sound,
A5 F#5 B5 E5 A5 F#5
Oh holiday, oh what a lovely day today,
B5 E5 A5 F#5
I think I'll get down on my knees and pray, that's what I'll do
B5 E5 A5
Thank heaven for this holiday,
A5 F#5 B5 E5
Lying on the beach with my back burned rare,
A5 F#5 B5 E5
And the salt gets in my blisters and the sand gets in my hair,
A5 A5 D5 B5
And the sea's an open sewer, But I really couldn't care,
E5 E5
I'm breathing through my mouth so I don't have to sniff the air,
A5 F#5 B5 E5 A5 F#5
Oh holiday, Oh what a lovely day today,
B5 E5 A5 F#5
I'm so glad they sent me away,
B5 E5 A5 E5 (slide to A5 )
To have a little holiday.
Note: In the E...E5 part there is a nice descending bass line. Also I think the major/minor qualities of the chords are alright.
