[Verse]
D
Holiday, O, A Holiday!
    G            D      A
And the best one of the year
D
Dozing off underneath my sheets
        G     D       A
While I cover both my ears
 
[Chorus]
    G    A          D    G           A       D
But if I wait for a holiday could it stop my fear?
   G     A      D        G         A         D
To go away on a summer’s day never seemed so clear
 
[Verse]
D
Holiday, still so far away
     G       D     A
Our republic on the beach
D
I can’t forget just how bad it gets
        G        D      A
When I’m counting on my teeth
 
[Chorus]
    G    A          D   G            A       D
But if I wait for a holiday could it stop my fear?
   G     A      D        G         A         D
To go away on a summer’s day never seemed so clear
 
[Verse]
G            A
A vegetarian since the invasion
D                         G
She’d never seen the word BOMBS
G                          A
She’d never seen the words blown up
   D            G
To 96 point Futura
                    A
She’d never seen an AK
      D              G
In a yellowy Day Glo display
                       A                            D
A t-shirt so lovely it turned all the history books grey
 
[Outro]
D
I’ve got wheels, I’ve got cutter spray
      G       D        A
And a healthy sense of worth
D
Half of me is the gasoline
        G     D          A
But the other half’s the surf
   G    A          D   G            A       D
So if I wait for a holiday could it stop my fear?
   G     A      D        G         A         D
To go away on a summer’s day never seemed so clear

this is best with some muting (or chucking if you want) like so: down up * up * up * up down up * up * up *=mute/chuck at the parts such as "and the best one of the year", where the change in chords is faster, do the following: G D A down up * up down up *up down up * up * up "But if I wait for the holiday, would it stop my fear?" G A D G A down up * up down up * up down up *up down up * up down up * up down up * D up down up* up * up

What are the strumming patterns???
