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


Verse 4
   A    F#  Bm        E      A      F#
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.
