Holiday Acoustic - The Get Up Kids
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Someone requested that I tab this song into an acoustic version so I gave it a
shot. I don't know that The Get Up Kids have ever actually played this song
acoustically but these chords can also be used for the rhythm to the electric
version.
Beneath the chords I included a tab of how to play this acoustically with my
version of the lead/melody included in the rhythm chords.
Tuning: Standard
Chords used:
E - 022100
- x46654
G#m - 466444
- x02220
F#m - 244222
- x24442
What became of everyone I used to know?
Where did our respectable convictions go?
Your words don’t match the story that your actions show
But what do I know?
I’m sure you can’t help but remembering
I thought that you’d be one not to forget
Remembering’s not helping you yet
Say goodnight
Mean goodbye
I know you think my life will stop when you’re away
Maybe I can see you on
Holidays, worlds away
I’ve never forgotten all our yesterdays
I’m lucky if we’re speaking on the
Holidays
The evidence presents itself accusingly
Your absence speaking everything you think of me
Now that I am faced with opportunity
You’re not remembering
I’m not asking you anyway
And even if you ever could cave in
I wouldn’t know where to begin
Say goodnight
Mean goodbye
I know you think my life will stop when you’re away
Maybe I can see you on
Holidays, worlds away
I’ve never forgotten all our yesterdays
I'm lucky if we’re speaking on
Holidays
Holidays
Say goodnight
Mean goodbye
I know you think my life will stop when you’re away
I'm lucky if we’re speaking on
Holidays
Holidays
This is another version I created on acoustic that is very similar to the one
above except it includes some lead/melody for those wishing for an acoustic
version that sounds more like the album.
