[Intro]
| Em   C   | G   D   | x6
 
 
[Verse 1]
Em         C            G       D
  Hear the sound of the falling rain
Em       C            G   B      Em
  Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)
    C          G        D        B
The shame, the ones who died without a name
Em         C            G      D
  Hear the dogs howling out of key
Em     C            G         B   Em
  To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!)
    C          G       D        B
And bleed, the company lost the war today
 
 
[Chorus]
Em         C                G               D
  I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
Em            C              G           B
  This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
N.C.     Em   C   G   D   Em   C   G   D
  On holiday
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em         C             G      D
  Hear the drum pounding out of time
Em        C     G       B           Em
  Another protestor has crossed the line (Hey!)
   C         G       D      B
To find, the money's on the other side
Em      C    G       D
  Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)
Em          C             G       B        Em
  There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!)
  C      G       D        B
A gag, a plastic bag on a monument
 
 
[Chorus]
Em         C                G               D
  I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
Em            C              G           B
  This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
N.C.
  On holiday

  Bombs away is your punishment
E5      G5      C5 A5  D5 B5
  Pulverize the Eiffel towers

  Kill all the fags that don't agree
E5          G5    C5  A5  D5 B5
  Trials by fire, setting fire
E5        G5         D5    B5  E5
 Is not a way that's meant for me
B
  Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!

Em         C                G               D

  This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
Em         C                G               D
  I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies
Em            C              G           B
  This is the dawning of the rest of our lives
                          Em   C   G   D
This is our lives on holiday

Yes it's power chrods but teh tab is for Chords so technically the guy is right........You should of put 'Use A Capo On First Fret' as the original song is F not E..........But it's stilla decent tab...i was just singing along and playing with it and it sounds pretty cool in Em........ If you wanna improve your playing you should try playing more demanding stuff though like iron maiden or van halen.
