Holiday In Waikiki

Biography:

The Kinks (1963–1996; 2018-present) is an English pop-rock group that came out of the British R&B scene of the early 1960s. Formed in Muswell Hill, North London, by brothers Ray Davies and Dave Davies in 1964 and categorised in the United States as a "British Invasion" band, the Kinks are recognised as one of the most important and influential rock groups of the era. In 1990, their first year of eligibility, the original four members were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

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
