Briliant stuff on Lover Not a Fighter - Really enjoyed playing that one.

Can you do Holiday? Can ya can ya maybe please can ya?

Maybe just something chordy to strum n sing to...

PS you are now the tabtronatrist. That is a word that I doubt has every been uttered and I devote it to you.

Righty ho then...

Guitar wise, it's surprisingly sparse until towards the end. It's essentially the same couple of I-IV-V based chord sequences moved around on the fretboard.

Code: Select all
Holiday

Ginger

Normal Tuning

                                                          I see...
        A              D             A
I see a suitcase, some underwear and toothpaste,
    D             A            D              E
And nothing but a lot of space joining them inside.
  D                 A              D            A            D
I know that when we get there I’ll buy whatever I wear
          A            E             D
We travel light on the flight in the air tonight.

    A             D            A             D
Oh, outside, it’s raining over Tyneside,
         A            D                   E
But come midnight the birds and I will be on our way.
D           A          D             A            D
Flying over England to catch another season
            A              E          D
This is the evening we are leaving on holiday.

                A       D                A
I can’t wait to see you waiting there in Heathrow,
D               A        D      E
Nothing but the sunshine on our mind.
        D            A           D
And the duty free we buy will be flowing
         A             D            A
Like the crystal clear water we fly over
       E      D
On our DC10 tonight.

            F#              B             F#
And when we get there we’re seeing in the New Year,
B               F#           B              C#
Drinking in our easy chairs, sitting by the poolside,
B             F#           B               F#
Lining up the cocktails to put some wind into our sails,
B           F#               C#           B
Kissing and grinning, making words up to "Auld Lang Syne".

                F#      B                F#
I can’t wait to see you waiting there in Heathrow,
B               F#       B      C#             
Nothing but the sunshine on our mind.
        B            F#          B
And the duty free we buy will be flowing
         F#            B            F#
Like the crystal clear water we fly over
       C#     B
On our DC10 tonight.

        E             A                E               A
I spent Christmas day dreaming ‘bout a holiday.
        E          A              B         A
I spent Boxing day wishing by the time ‘til I’m inside
  E        A                E             A
a taxi and rolling down the runway.
             E             B         A
And we’ll be sipping margueritas by closing time.

                E       A                E
I can’t wait to see you waiting there in Heathrow,
A               E        A      B
Nothing but the sunshine on our mind.
        A            E           A
And the duty free we buy will be flowing
         E             A            E
Like the crystal clear water we fly over
