Vampire Weekend - Holiday

Verse 1:
E
Holiday, O, a Holiday!
    A            E      B
And the best one of the year
E
Dozing off underneath my sheets
        A     E       B
While I cover both my ears

Chorus:
    A    B          E    A           B       E
But if I wait for a holiday could it stop my fear?
   A     B      E        A         B         E
To go away on a summer’s day never seemed so clear

Verse 2 - same as first -:
Holiday, still so far away
Our republic on the beach
I can’t forget just how bad it gets
When I’m counting on my teeth

Chorus:
    A    B          E    A           B       E
But if I wait for a holiday could it stop my fear?
   A     B      E        A         B         E
To go away on a summer’s day never seemed so clear

Bridge:
A            B
A vegetarian since the invasion
E                         A
She’d never seen the word BOMBS
A                          B
She’d never seen the words blown up
   E            A
To 96 point Futura
                    B
She’d never seen an AK
      E              A
In a yellowy Day Glo display
                       B                            E
A t-shirt so lovely it turned all the history books grey

Verse 4:
I’ve got wheels, I’ve got cutter spray
And a healthy sense of worth
Half of me is the gasoline
But the other half’s the surf
So if I wait for a holiday could it stop my fear?
To go away on a summer’s day never seemed so clear
