Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
Holiday,  O, A Holiday!
 And the  best one of  the year
Dozing  off underneath my sheets
 While I cover both  my ears
 But if  I wait  for a holiday  could it stop  my fear?
 To go  away  on a summer’s day  never seemed  so clear
 Holiday, still so far away
 Our republic on the beach
 I can’t forget just how bad it gets
 When I’m counting on my teeth
 But if I wait for a holiday
 Could it stop my fear?
 To go away on a summer’s day
 Never seemed so clear
A  vegetarian since  the invasion
She’d  never seen the word BOMBS
She’d  never seen the words blown  up
 To 96  point Futura
 She’d never seen an AK
 In a yellowy  Day Glo display
 A t-shirt so lovely it turned  all the history books grey
 I’ve got wheels, I’ve got cutter spray
 And a healthy sense of worth
 Half of me is the gasoline
 But the other half’s the surf
 So if I wait for a holiday could it stop my fear?
 To go away on a summer’s day never seemed so clear
