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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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