Holiday Chords

   
I was really shocked when I saw that no one had but up the chords for this, so I 
decided to figure them out, seeing as I wanted them for something anyway.
This is really basic, but accurate. The only three chords you need to use for this 
are D, A and G, and it's great for beginner guitarists and a helping hand to more 
advanced guitarists who want to add their own twist.
Let me know if there's anything wrong, by commenting, and I'll fix it.

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: -
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/v/vampire_weekend/holiday_crd.html ]
       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
