A     F#     B7
Holiday,

          E7     A     F#
Oh what a lovely day today,

B7        E7        A       F#
I'm oh so glad they sent me away,

   B7            E7   A    F#   B7  E7
To have a little holiday today, holiday.
[Verse]
A     F#
Holiday,

B7           E7              A        F#  
And I'm just standing on the end of a pier,

B7          E7      A        F#
Hoping and dreaming you were here,

B7          E7         A
To share my little holiday.
[Verse]
A              F#        B7         E7
Lookin' in the sky for a gap in the clouds,

A           F#                    B7          E7
Sometimes I think that sun ain't never coming out,

A                 A7                D         D#dim7
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]
   A    F#  B7        E7     A      F# 
Oh holiday, oh what a lovely day today,

B7               E7                    A                   F#          
I think I'll get down on my little ol' knees and pray, thank you Lord,

      B7              E7  A     F#   B7  E7
Thank heaven for this holiday today, holiday.
[Bridge]
    D       D#dim7     A
I'm leaving insecurity behind me,

    D             D#dim7           A
The environmental pressures got me down,

C#                           D       D#dim7
I don't need no sedatives to pull me round,

E
I don't need no sleeping pills to help me sleep sound.
[Verse]
   A   F#
Oh holiday,

B7        E7     A     F#
Oh what a lovely day today,

B7           E7                        A         
I think I'll get down on my little ol' knees and pray,

       F#
That's what I'll do,

      B7              E7  A
Thank heaven for this holiday.
[Verse]
A            F#            B7          E7
Lying on the beach with my back burned rare,

A              F#                    B7              E7
The salt gets in my blisters and the sand gets in my hair,

        A             A7
And the sea's an open sewer,

      D               D#dim7
But I really couldn't care,

E
I'm breathing through my mouth so I don't have to sniff the air.
[Verse]
   A   F#
Oh holiday,

B7        E7     A     F#
Oh what a lovely day today,

B7     E7        A       F#
I'm so glad they sent me away,

   B7            E7  A      
To have a little holiday.
