                        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

C#m - x46654

G#m - 466444

A -   x02220

F#m - 244222

B -   x24442





E                          C#m

What became of everyone I used to know?

G#m                          A

Where did our respectable convictions go?

E                                          C#m

Your words don’t match the story that your actions show

G#m                A

  But what do I know?



F#m                       G#m     A

  I’m sure you can’t help but remembering

C#m                     B             A

I thought that you’d be one not to forget

C#m               B           A  

Remembering’s not helping you yet



    E

Say goodnight

     C#m

Mean goodbye

           A                   B                C#m      E

I know you think my life will stop when you’re away

A           B

Maybe I can see you on

E         C#m

Holidays, worlds away

A              B             C#m        E

I’ve never forgotten all our yesterdays

    A              B

I’m lucky if we’re speaking on the

E

Holidays



C#m    G#m     A





E                              C#m

The evidence presents itself accusingly

     G#m                             A

Your absence speaking everything you think of me

E                             C#m

Now that I am faced with opportunity

G#m                  A

  You’re not remembering



F#m              G#m A

  I’m not asking you anyway

C#m             B               A

And even if you ever could cave in

  C#m           B          A

I wouldn’t know where to begin



    E

Say goodnight

     C#m

Mean goodbye

           A                   B                C#m     E

I know you think my life will stop when you’re away

A           B

Maybe I can see you on

E         C#m

Holidays, worlds away

A             B              C#m        E

I’ve never forgotten all our yesterdays

    A              B

I'm lucky if we’re speaking on

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.
