Holiday by The Birthday Massacre
Holiday
Gtr I (D A D G B E)
* Guitar is Drop D tuning
* Although there isn't any guitar in the Verse sections, I've done
a Bass Style part that utilises single notes with palm-muting.
* The palm-muted bits in the Bridge section are basically white noise.
To achieve this sound, press a little harder than normal whilst retaining
the chord shapes.

It's getting late
it all just wanes and pales and fades away
if we just want it too much
and what a shame
if all there is is all thats
gone away
there's nothing left here for us
deadlight holiday
killing time to make us stay
hollow as the promises of yesterday
on and on the music plays
memories in paraphrase
falling past my window like
the morning rain
it's all the same
so many words remaining
always too late
it never seems worth taking
and all the days
and all the nights lost sleeping
and in the end the secret's not worth keeping.
