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

  or this way

  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...
