------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Holiday Acoustic - The Get Up Kids ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Sean Hummer Email: [email protected] Someone requested that I tab this song into an acoustic version so I gave it a shot. I don't know that The Get Up Kids have ever actually played this song acoustically but these chords can also be used for the rhythm to the electric version. Beneath the chords I included a tab of how to play this acoustically with my version of the lead/melody included in the rhythm chords. Chords used: E - 022100
