george - Holiday
From the EP 'Bastard Son/Holiday'

Transcribed by Wes Chia - kingstudwes@h... (ICQ 52478419)

For the record, this is my all time favourite george song. I started my
love of george listening to this EP and I saw them live at the Gypsy Bar
in Canberra. The venue is small and cosy - like someone's garage, albeit
a large garage. When Katie sang this, it was like a spiritual experience.
(her version of Spawn that night was unbelievable as well - the best intro
i've heard of all the live Spawn's i've heard)...

...Anyway, the tab. The last couple times I've seen them, Nick just plays
the chords on an acoustic... and as far as my ears go, these are them. :)

Enjoy one of george's best. (especially you Ammalouithe)

Ab Cm
Nice time of year for a holiday

Bbm E
such a pity you've no words to say

Ab Cm
And you're flying in on his thin imagination

Bbm E
flying out with a brand new prescription


B D#m
And I can't believe it looks just like the brochure

C# E
The other side of the world seems somehow closer

B D#m
Yet he'll be bouncing off the hotel walls

C# E
And you'll be having no fun at all


[CHORUS]

G# Cm
And I'm just here for a few days

Bbm E
Gonna take a holiday to fade away

G# Cm
And I'm just here for a few days

Bbm E
I need to take a holiday to fade away


[VERSE 2]

Ab Abmaj7 Cm
And the sun is shining in your tanning parlour

Bbm E
he's bought everything for his favourite starlet

Ab Abmaj7 Cm
And sun, surf and sand and a bruising backhand

Bbm E
and cocktails of sorts at his demand

B D#m
I didn't come to swim in your pool

C# E
yet you're drowning just like the fool

B D#m
Oooooh... It's not for us to understand

C# E
we'll just wait for the happy snaps to hit the stand


G# G#maj7 Cm Bbm E
Aoooooooooaaaaaaaaaoooooohhhhhhhhh...


G# G#maj7 Cm Bbm E
Aoooooooooaaaaaaaaaoooooohhhhhhhhh...
