VAMPIRE WEEKEND - HOLIDAY (CHORD)

Intro: - D

Verse: -

D             A
Holiday, O, A Holiday!
       G         D      A
And the best one of the year
D               A
Dozing off underneath my sheets
        G     D       A
While I cover both my ears

Chorus: -

    G               D        A                D
But if I wait for a holiday, could it stop my fear?
   G            D            A               D
To go away on a summer’s day never seemed so clear

Verse: -

D                 A
Holiday, still so far away
    G        D      A
Our republic on the beach
  D                     A
I can’t forget just how bad it gets
         G        D     A
When I’m counting on my teeth

Chorus: -

    G               D        A                D
But if I wait for a holiday, could it stop my fear?
   G            D            A               D
To go away on a summer’s day never seemed so clear

Bridge: -

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

Verse: -

D                         A
I’ve got wheels, I’ve got cutter spray
      G       D        A
And a healthy sense of worth
D                 A
Half of me is the gasoline
        G     D          A
But the other half’s the surf

Chorus: -

    G               D        A                D
But if I wait for a holiday, could it stop my fear?
   G            D            A               D
To go away on a summer’s day never seemed so clear
