The Optimist 

CHORUS
E                    Am                D     C      E
I live each day like it's my last and I think today will be
E                    Am           D    C     E
But that is just the optimist that lies inside of me

VERSE 1
F                           Am                                        
Daddy he got drafted by the will of Uncle Sam
F                                       Am
By the hand of God and the Vietcong he died in Vietnam
F                                    Am
Mother couldn't raise three kids but she could raise her hand
F                              C                 B7
Every night my brother's and my sister's hides got tanned

VERSE 2
Daddy's little soldier girl is in Afghanistan
Me I wander 'round this country wondering who the hell I am
They said my brother was different but I didn't give a damn
He got married in Frisco and got murdered in Alabam'
