This tab is the best tab written so far so don’t even bother looking at other
ones.  This has the only correct solo.

The first part of this song is played by Rivers.  Brian comes in playing the
next part.

Em    Am                D    G
            When you're on a holiday
Em    Am              D        G        Em
            You can't find the words to say
Am            D           G       Em
      All the things that come to you
Am          D       G            Em    Am
      And I want to feel it too


Chorus
      D      G           Em    Am
On an island in the sun
         D           G      Em     Am
We'll be playing and having fun
       D        G       Em     Am       D       G
And it makes me feel so fine I can't control my brain

Hip hip

When you're on a golden sea
You don't need no memory
Just a place to call your own
As we drift into the zone

Chorus

D               G
      We'll run away together
D                     G
      We'll spend some time forever
C                A          D
      We'll never feel bad anymore, hip hip

hip hip

Solo

Bridge

Guitar 1&2 play the opening parts to this

We'll never feel bad anymore
Em  Am  D  G

Em          Am   D   G
We'll never feel bad anymore

Em  Am  D  G
           No no
Em  Am  D  G
           No no
