Jacqueline was seventeen

                      Ab                    Bb
Working on a desk when Ivor peered above a spectacle
Forgot that he had wrecked a girl
Cm               Ab                           Bb
 Sometimes these eyes forget the face they're peering from
When the face they peer upon
G                            Cm
 Well, you know that face as I do

                 Ab
And how in the return of the gaze

          Bb
She can return you the face

              Cm
That you are staring from
Cm (for lead guitar riffs) CHORUS
Cm           Eb        Bb
 It's always better on holiday

Cm       Eb        Bb
 So much better on holiday

Cm             Eb   Bb
 That's why we only work when

Cm  Eb       Bb
 We need the money
BRIDGE
Cm
Gregor was down again

    Ab
Said "come on, kick me again"

    Bb
Said "I'm so drunk I don't mind if you kill me"

Cm           Ab            Bb
Come on you, gutless, I'm alive, oh, I'm alive!

G
Oh, I'm alive!

          Cm
And how I know it's true

        Ab            Bb
But for chips and for freedom I could die
CHORUS
Cm           Eb        Bb
 It's always better on holiday

Cm       Eb        Bb

 We need the money

 That's why we only work when
