C5
When the sky
B(#5)
Is a bright canary yellow I forget
Bbm9
Every cloud I've ever seen
Ab Gm
So they call me a cockeyed optimist
Fm
Immature and incurably green I have heard
C5
People rant
B(#5)
And rave and bellow that we're done and we might
Bbm9
As well be dead but I'm only
Ab Gm
A cockeyed optimist And I can't get it into my head
Fm
I hear the human race is fallin' on it face
C5
And hasn't
B(#5)
Very far to go but ev'ry whippoorwill is sellin' me a bill
Bbm9
And tellin' me it just ain't so
Ab Gm
I could say life is just a bowl of Jello
Fm
And appear more intelligent and smart
C5
But I'm stuck
B(#5)
Like a dope with a thing called hope and I can't
Bbm9
No, I won't get it out of my heart
Ab
Not this heart
