HOLIDAY IN WAIKIKI- The Kinks

TUNING: E B E G# B E

          E                                       F#m11 E
I won a competition in a little column in my local paper
       E                                                   F#m11 E
So I packed my bags and flew across the sea all on my local baker
  A                       B
Sailing to Hawaii in the U.S.A.
  E (w/ RIFF 1)
I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki

I didn't realize it was commercialized when I unpacked my pieces
Because a genuine Hawaii ukulele cost me 30 guineas
And even when I'm swimming I have to pay
I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki

    F#  RIFF 2   RIFF 1
Oh yeah, yeah

Across the coral sands I saw a hula hula dancing, looking pretty
I asked her where she came from and she said to me
"I come from New York City and my mother is Italian, and my dad's a Greek"
I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki

It's a ooga ooga on the shining briny on the way to Kona
And in a little shack they had a little sign that said-a Coca Cola
And even all the grass skirts were of P.V.C.
I'm just an English boy who won a holiday in Waikiki

Oh yeah, yeah

In Waikiki
In Waikiki
