A F# Bm E

A     F#   Bm
Holiday,
          E      A     F#
Oh what a lovely day today,
Bm     E         A       F# 
I'm so glad they sent me away,
   Bm            E   A     F#   Bm    E   
To have a little holiday today, holiday, 

A    F#
Holiday,
Bm           E               A        F# 
And I'm just standing on the edge of a pier, 
Bm          E       A        F#
Hoping and dreaming you were here,
Bm          E      A 
To share my little holiday, 

A              F#         Bm          E
Lookin' in the sky, for a gap in the clouds, 
A           F#                   Bm           E
Sometimes I think that sun ain't never coming out, 
        A         A7                D         Bm
But I'd rather be here than in that dirty old town,
  E 
I had to leave the city cos it nearly broke me down, 

A     F#   Bm
Holiday,
          E      A     F#
Oh what a lovely day today,
Bm     E         A       F# 
I'm so glad they sent me away,
   Bm            E   A     F#   Bm    E   
To have a little holiday today, holiday, 

    D                  A 
I'm leaving insecurity behind me, 
    D                              A
The environmental pressures got me down,
A               A7           D       Bm 
I don't need no sedatives to slow me down, 
E 
I don't need no sleeping pills to help me sleep sound, 

   A   F#
Oh holiday,
Bm        E      A     F# 
Oh what a lovely day today,
  Bm         E              A         F#
I think I'll get down on my knees and pray,
      Bm              E   A
Thank heaven for this holiday, 

D                          A
Lying on the beach with my back burned rare, 
        D                                A
And the salt gets in my blisters and the sand gets in my hair,
        A             A7 
And the sea's an open sewer, 
      D               Bm
But I really couldn't care,
    E 
I'm breathing through my mouth so I don't have to sniff the air, 

A     F#   Bm
Holiday,
          E      A     F#
Oh what a lovely day today,
Bm     E         A       F# 
I'm so glad they sent me away,
   Bm            E   A     F#   Bm    E   
To have a little holiday today, holiday, 

A  D  A  D  A
