Holidays

C  G  D   C7   G  D

[Verse 1]
G                          D
She's the kind of girl who pays for herself
        C7                       G
And the money don't come rolling in
                           D
Been living here outside of fifteen years
    C7                              G     Em
Say how do you do, where does she begin


[Verse 2]
                 D
Those lollipop eyes
Am           G
No longer surprised
Eb               G    D
Still willing to try


[Verse 3]
A              G              D
Worried she'll get to be just

Big as a house
     C7
Her apartment is small
                      G                D
She's got to stay the size of a mouse


[Verse 4]
A        G             D
Walking around in the

Old neighbourhood
           C7
There were several wise-guys
         G
She'd do over if she could


[Verse 5]
Em               D
Please no more lies
Am             G
Warm September skies
Bb               G
Still willing to try


[Chorus]
A   G   Bb  F
But the holidays
Bb  F
Holidays
Bb  F
Holidays
Bb  F   Eb   G      D  G
Holidays are hard


[Verse 6]
A        G
Sun's so bright
   D
She pulls the shade
       C7
Puts a dinky dinner in
     G             D
It's factory made


[Verse 7]
G
She bought the book
   D
How to help yourself
      C7
Climb up on the chair girl
            G                    D
And take it down from the shelf


[Verse 8]
Em               D
Cracks open a smile
Am            G
Ain't she got style
Bb               G
Still willing to try


[Chorus]
A   G   Bb  F
But the holidays
Bb  F
Holidays
Bb  F
Holidays
Bb  F   Eb   G      D  G
Holidays are hard
