Holidays In The Sun

          Song:Holidays In The Sun
          Band:Sex Pistols
          Tabbed by:SLAUGHTER!!!!!!!!!!!! ([email protected])

          Tuning:EADGBE


          I've tabbed the main guitar parts for this song, but there are
          other parts which are just audible. These were just basically
          any notes at random, keeping in the basic chord. This happens
          a lot in Sex Pistols songs.


          Key:
          -x\\\\\\- pick scrape
          P.M. palm mute
