 Optimistic By Radiohead
 >From the Album Kid A
 Tabbed by Andrew Prefontaine
 Here's how the song is supposed to go. The previous tabs of it were
 pretty close
 but not quite on the mark.
 
 I won't post lyrics with this tab because there seems to be a big stink
 about it if
 you do.
 
 It's pretty simple, and believe it or not repetitive
 Use your own beat style. I only wrote it like this so it would be easy
 to understand the dsus4 d dsus4 d part.
 
 standard tuning
