Holiday,

Oh what a lovely day today,

I'm oh so glad they sent me away,

To have a little holiday today, holiday.

Verse 2
A   F#
Holiday,
Bm      E        A    F#
And I'm just standing on the end of a pier,

Hoping and dreaming you were here,
Bm     E   A
To share my little holiday.


Verse 3
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 really brought me down.

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


Bridge
  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 pull me round,
E
I don't need no sleeping pills to help me sleep sound.


Verse 5
Oh holiday,
Oh what a lovely day today,
I think I'll get down on my little ol' knees and pray,
That's what I'll do,
Thank heaven for this holiday.

Verse 6
Lying on the beach with my back burned rare,
The salt gets in my blisters and the sand gets in my hair,
And the sea's an open sewer,
But I really couldn't care,
I'm breathing through my mouth so I don't have to sniff the air.

Verse 7
Oh holiday,
Oh what a lovely day today,
I'm so glad they sent me away,
To have a little holiday.
