The Kinks - Holiday: chords

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.

Holiday
And I'm just standing on the end of a pier
Hoping and dreaming you were here
To share my little holiday

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.

Oh, holiday
Oh, what a lovely day today
I think I'll get down on my little ol'
knees and pray, thank you, Lord
Thank heaven for that holiday today, holiday

     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.

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 that holiday

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

Oh, holiday
Oh, what a lovely day today
I'm, oh, so glad they sent me away
To have a little holiday
