Verse 1

Holiday,
     E MajorE   A augmentedA  F#F#
Oh what a lovely day today,
B minorBm    E MajorE     A augmentedA    F#F#
I'm oh so glad they sent me away,
  B minorBm      E MajorE  A augmentedA  F#F#  B minorBm Eb MajorEb E MajorE
To have a little holiday today, holiday.

Verse 2
A augmentedA   F#F#
Holiday,
B minorBm      E MajorE        A augmentedA    F#F#
And I'm just standing on the end of a pier,
B minorBm     E MajorE    A augmentedA    F#F#
Hoping and dreaming you were here,
B minorBm     E MajorE   A augmentedA
To share my little holiday.


Verse 3
A augmentedA       F#F#    B minorBm     E MajorE
Lookin' in the sky for a gap in the clouds,
A augmentedA      F#F#          B minorBm     E MajorE
Sometimes I think that sun ain't never coming out,
    A augmentedA     A7A7        D MajorD     B minorBm
But I'd rather be here than in that dirty old town,
 E MajorE
I had to leave the city cos it really brought me down.


Verse 4
  A augmentedA  F#F# B minorBm    E MajorE   A augmentedA   F#F#
Oh holiday, oh what a lovely day today,
B minorBm        E MajorE                A augmentedA        F#F#
I think I'll get down on my little ol' knees and pray, thank you Lord,
   B minorBm       E MajorE  A augmentedA   F#F# B minorBm  E MajorE
Thank heaven for this holiday today, holiday.

Bridge
  D MajorD         A augmentedA
I'm leaving insecurity behind me,
  D MajorD               A augmentedA
The environmental pressures got me down,
A augmentedA        A7A7      D MajorD    B minorBm
I don't need no sedatives to pull me round,
E MajorE
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.
