Am 
Writer's Minor Holiday, thumb tacks spread out
 F                   C      Fm                  G
Across your hometown state, hollow tree at half mast
Am
Wait until wintertime
F                C        Fm                    G      G
  Leaves a paper trail, a licorice plant that's over___grown

[Chorus]
       C    C  F G      C    C  F G               
Like a cabin     in the woods   on a minor
C    C  F      G         C   C C C 
        Like a minor holiday

[Verse]
Am
Woolrich red plaid wolf
F             C                    Fm          G
Irish whiskey glass, here comes my fine bright haired lass
A
Like a trash fire burning and burning it
   F                 C      Fm                  G    G
My heart could never right,    the words never fail

Dm   A                   Dm  A            Dm     A
       Tucked under your cap    and for a moment
          A#        A#            G    G      C
There's a stillness    before the room spins again

[Chorus]  
C  F   G          C    C  F      G   C   
     A Minor holiday,      spin it again
C  F         G          C    C C C C 
     Ride it out so you can tell

[Verse]
Am
Wasted on the weekend
            F              C               Fm                  G         G
Making good time with my excuse, where the plot lines are like dead ends
                C    C  F        G            C    
Floating in her eyes      at the bottom of a well
C  F  G             C    C  F   G           C      C      
    Floating in her eyes        ride it out for a spell
F     G         C    C  F    G        C     C  F    G
 On a Minor holiday     Transfer this weight
F     G         C    C  F    G        C     C 
 On a Minor holiday     Transfer this weight
F     G         C    C  F    G         C     C 
 On a Minor holiday        a Minor holiday 
F     G         C    C  F      G              C      
 On a Minor holiday      Going back and forth
  C       F      G   C (strum one time till the end) 
a minor,   minor holiday
  F     G   C     
A minor holiday
