Song:Holidays In The Sun
Band:Sex Pistols
Tabbed by:SLAUGHTER!!!!!!!!!!!! (s_laughter_uk@yahoo.co.uk)
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
