This is my first tab posting so I hope you people like it! It is a
fairly simple song to play, just a bunch of chords played through
heavy distortion with liberal amounts of palm muting which is SO
effective!
All chords are ACTUAL notes for a 1/2 tone drop tuning so most can
be played on a normal tuned guitar if shifted down a semi-tone
(1 fret).
The chords used are:
E A D G B e
A#5 7 9 9 x x x or x 2 4 4 x x
G5 4 5 5 x x x
C5 x 4 5 5 x x
F5 2 5 5 x x x
G#5 5 7 7 x x x or x 0 2 2 x x
D#5 x 7 9 9 x x
D5 x 6 8 8 x x
D#5(2) 0 2 2 x x x (or if you don't detune x 1 1 x x x )
*ALL CHORDS ARE PALM MUTED UNLESS STATED OTHERWISE*
VERSE 1:
(For the first section, Pete plays the bass only, but guitar can be
added by hitting the A# note on the 7th fret of the bass E string
fast)
A# bass note ---------------------------> G5
I had the best intentions yeah honestly I paid attention
A#5 G5
I'm a loose conection so promise me a soft injection
PRE-CHORUS:
C5 F5 G5 C5 G#5 A#5
A shallow feeling defies meaning
CHORUS:
D# A#5
I need a holiday, to blow you all away,
C5 G5
lose all the stiffs in my parade
D# A#5
I need a holiday, a nuclear holiday,
C5 G5
just go anywhere I'll stay
VERSE 2: (same as verse 1)
Fell on the outside, where givin' in comes in like the tide
And everybody's shinin' perfectly, moments in timing
PRE-CHORUS: repeat
CHORUS: repeat
SOLO: (it is quite random so use your imagination!)
*IT IS EASIER IF YOU USE THE "or" CHORDS AS THEY ARE ALL ON
ONE STRING DURING THE DECENDING PART OF THE SOLO*
If you don't want to drop tune, the D#5(2) can be played as
the two note diad.
G#5 A#5 D#5 D5 C5 A#
G#5 A#5 D#5(2)
BRIDGE:
(heavy FAST muting!)
D#5 A#5
If I talk you talk the words I say
C5 G5
Come back around a different way
D#5 A#5
The end is just a breath away
C5 G5
If you ain't got a weapon then you'll never get a say
CHORUS:
D#5 A#5
I need a holiday to blow you all away
C5 G5
lose all the stiffs in my parade
D#5 PAUSE ---------->
I need a holiday a nuclear holiday
C5 G5
just go anywhere i'll stay
*repeat chorus twice without the pause*
During the last two chorus' there is some strange chord being
contantly played in the backround. It doesn't alter the song much
so if you are a two piece have a widdle here!
So there it is. Please contact me with any comments,
suggestions etc.......

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official 3 COLOURS RED tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
