                        Holiday Acoustic - The Get Up Kids
E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------||
Tabbed by: Sean Hummer

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
C#m   G#m
Holidays
A    B
Holidays

    E
Say goodnight

Mean goodbye
           A                   B                C#m     E
I know you think my life will stop when you’re away
    A              B
I'm lucky if we’re speaking on
C#m   G#m
Holidays
A    F#m      E
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.
