Optimism Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I've got those optimism blues
And it's about to knock me
out of my shoes
Haven't seen such a grin [A]since
[D]Lord knows whe[A]n[D]
I've got [A]those [D]optimism blues
I've got those [A]optimism [Bm]blues[D]
[G]And it's bound to [F#m]knock me
[Bm]out of my [Em]shoes[G][C]
[D]Haven't seen such a [A]grin since,
[Bm]Lord knows when[Bb]
When [D]I've got those
[A]optimism [D]blues
[A]Time has changed so many things
Running out of this and too much of that
[D]And [A]time has claimed so many things
By getting rid of some and fixing others
But I'm prepared to accept
Whatever fate will turn [G]up
Be[A]cause I believe that there's
A very good reason
for everything I happen [D]in
I've got those [A]optimism [Bm]blues
An[D]d i[G]t's bound to k[F#m]nock me
[Bm]out of my [Em]shoes[G][C]
[D]Haven't seen such a [A]grin since
[Bm]Lord [Bb]knows [D]when
I've got those [A]optimism [D]blues
[A]Time has changed so many things
The West dippin' in haze,
the East [G]fussin'
[D]And [A]time has changed so many things
They took all the signs
off the southern bus
[D]But [A]flowers still grow like before
Few souls lost
and you can't hold a good man down
By the river, people getting
saved by the [D]desert
I've got those [A]optimism [Bm]blues
[D]Blues, [G]and it's about to kno[F#m]ck
me [Bm]out of my s[Em]hoes[G][C]
[D]Haven't seen such a [A]grin
[D]since [A]lon[Bm]g ago
It's [Bb]what I'm going in[D],
I've got those [A]optimism [D]blues
I've got those [A]optimism blues,
[Bm]blue[D]s
An[G]d it's about to k[F#m]nock me
[Bm]out of my [Em]shoes[G][C]
[D]Haven't seen such a [A]grin since,
[Bm]Lord [Bb]knows when
[D]I've got those [A]optimism [D]moves
I've got those [A]optimism [Bm]moves[D]
[G]An d it's bout to [F#m]knock me
[Bm]out of my [Em]shoes[C]
[D]Haven't seen such a [A]grin since,
