The are a lot of wrong tabs around the internet for this song, so I thought I would
it a try. By no means is this tab perfect, its my first tab.
Song: Holiday From Real
Artist: Jack's Mannequin
Album: Everything in Transit
Note: This song is in the Key of Am so all notes are natural (no sharps or flats).
Intro/verse 1: Piano and bass. Piano plays these chords: Am, G, F, Em, F (note, to try
reproduce this on guitar, try Am, G, and F barre chords and make the Em and E5)
On: "She lets me drive her car..."

CHORUS (its quite hard to tell what’s going on here because there are many instruments
the guitar(s) are quite quiet compared to them, but when I play this[and I don’t just
this by myself] I play:)
E|5--------3-------1----0-1-------------------------|

BRIDGE (I can’t tell what the hell is going on here, but C, which is the relative major
Am is definitely involved…a key switch maybe?)
