Holiday Acoustic by Get Up Kids ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Holiday Acoustic - The Get Up Kids ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Sean Hummer Email: allstar21369@hotmail.com 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?
