 OPTIMISTIC
 
 this is probably the poorest tab ever made but i hope its something to
 work with

 i think the second guitar is playing along using the G Major scale... 
                                                                       
 	----------------------------2-3-5-                                   
 	-----------------------3-5--------                                   
 	------------------2-4-5-----------                                   
 	------------2-4-5-----------------                                   
 	------2-3-5-----------------------                                   
 	-3-5------------------------------                                   
                                                                       
 NOTE: this is not how to play it! this is just the scale.. listen to  
 the song and use this..                                               
                                                                       
 there is one chord that (jonny?) plays with just a slow upstroke im   
 not sure which one                                                    
 but i think its some sort of F chord..                                
                                                                    
 im sure i got lots of things really wrong but i hope i at least helped
 you guys out..

 Ok, as there isn't any good quality recording of this song so I wasn't able to tab it perfectly. Anyway, here you have some chord so you can play and sing... enjoy!!
 
 CHORDS
 
 NAME   EADGBe
  F     x00565
  G     320033
  D     xx0232
  A#    x13331
  C     x32010
  Dm    xx0231
  Dsus2 xx0230
  Dsus4 xx0233
 
 INTRO:
 
  F-G-D  A#-C-D --> 2 times
  
  A#-C-D
 
  Dm Dsus2 Dsus4 D --> 2 times
 VERSE
 
 Dm                       Dsus2
 Flies are buzzing around my head
 Dsus4             D
 Vultures circling my bed
 A#         C          D
 Picking up every last crumb
 Dm                       Dsus2
 The big fish eat the little ones
 Dm                       Dsus2
 The big fish eat the little ones
 A#         C          D
 Not my problem give me some
 
 CHORUS
         F
 You can try the best you can
        G                G
 If you try the best you can
     A#             C     D
 The best you can is good enough
 
 Then theres a little lick that goes like this...
 
 e--------------------------------------
 B--3----1------------------------------
 G---------3-2----0-3-2----------------- It goes over and over during
 D----------------------0--------------- the Dm Dsus2... chords on
 A-------------------------------------- the verse.
 E--------------------------------------
 
 During the chorus theres some kind of scale playing that i won't bother to tab, it's fairly easy.
 
 This was all i could do... this is just a simple version so you can play and sing with your acoustic guitar...
