[Verse 1]
C Cmaj7 Am C/G
It happened back in ancient times
F F/A Bb
When people worked overtime, overtime
C Cmaj7 Am C/G F Bb
In fact I think in 19-8 - 5
C Cmaj7 Am G
Life was busy in the big city
F F/A Bb
And the union was sitting pretty
C Cmaj7 Am G F Bb
It wasn't easy to stay alive
[Chorus 1]
Bb Db
And they'd run from the city to the sun and the country
F F/E F/D F/C
And never quite get away
Bb Eb F Gm
When the weekend came everybody took a holiday
Am Bb
Everybody took a holiday
[Verse 2]
C Cmaj7 Am C/G
On a Sunday in July,
F F/A Bb
Everybody made up their minds
C Cmaj7 Am C/G F Bb
And when Monday rolled around no one came home
C Cmaj7 Am C/G
All the cities and streets were bare
F F/A Bb
Everybody was havin' fun elsewhere
C Cmaj7 Am C/G F Bb
As the weeks went by no one came home
[Chorus 2]
Bb Db
And the stores closed down and the cars stopped runnin'
F F/E F/D F/C
And the sky cleared day-to-day
Bb Eb F Gm
But no one cared, everybody took a holiday
Am Bb
Everybody took a holiday

But the world has changed today
F F/A Bb
Everyone works in the usual way
C Cmaj7 Am C/G F Bb
But at least we had one month away
C Cmaj7 Am C/G
Things are much, much slower now
F F/A Bb
People get away anyhow, anyhow
C Cmaj7 Am C/G F Bb
And the weekend comes they take a holiday
[Chorus 3]
Bb Db
And they'd run from the city to the sun and the country

And never quite get away
Bb Eb F Gm
When the weekend came everybody took a holiday
