Holiday In The Sun Tabs

(ver. 2)
Sex Pistols
          Band:Sex Pistols
          
          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.
