[F#] [B] [E]
[A] [F#] Holiday, [B] [E] oh what a lovely day [F#] today.
[B] [E] I'm oh so [A] glad they sent [F#] me away [B] to [E] have a little [A] holiday [F#] today.
[B] [E] Holiday, [A] oh what a [B] lovely day today.
I'm just [E] standing [A] on the edge of a [F#] cliff, [B] hoping [E] and dreaming you are [F#] here [B] to share my little holiday.
[A] Looking [F#] in the sky [B] for a gaping [E] cloud, [A] sometimes [F#m] I think that [B] sun ain't never coming [E] up.
[A] I'd rather [G] be hiding [D] in that dirty [D#m] old town, [E] than have to leave the city cause the newly bloomed may die.
[A]
[F#m] [B] Holiday, oh [E] what a lovely [A] day [F#] today.
[B] I [E] think I'll get down on [A] my little old knees and [F#] pray.
Thank you lord, [B] thank heaven [E] for that lovely [A] day [F#] today.
[B] [E] Holiday, [D] oh what a lovely day today.
I'm leaving [B] insecurity [A] behind me, [D] the [B] environmental pressures [A] got me down.
[C#] I don't need no [D] sedatives to pull me [D#] around.
[E] I don't need no sleeping pills to help me sleep sound.
[A]
[F#] [B] Holiday, oh [E] what a lovely [A] day [F#] today.
[B] I [E] think I'll get down on [A] my little old knees and pray.
[F#m] [B] Thank you lord, thank heaven [E] for that [A] lovely day today.
[Am] [A] Lying on the [B] beach with my back [E] burned rare, [A] [F#] salt gets in my [B] blisters and [E] sand gets in my [A] hair.
The season opens sooner but [D] I really couldn't care.
[E] I'm breathing through my mouth so I don't have to sniff the air.
[A] Oh, [F#m] holiday, [B]
[E] oh what a lovely [A] day [F#] today.
[B]
[E] I'm oh so glad [A] they sent [F#] me away [B] to have [E] a little [A] holiday.
