It's from the album Travelers and Thieves (a work of genius!)the only difference in the playing is that on the last verse on the album, everything is shifted up one half-step. Optimistic Thought by Blues Traveler A D A D E A When she wakes it seems so shady, she remembers she's a lady F#m E A D E Oh but could it be that maybe she was having lots of fun A D A D E A She sees she's wearing leather, in her navel there's a feather F#m E A D A She just has to crack a smile and close her eyes her prayer begun chorus: A D A D E A Life I embrace you, I shall honor and disgrace you F#m E Please forgive if I replace you A D E You see I'm going through some pain A D A D E A But now I see clearly, and the dawn is coming nearly F#m E And though I'm human and it's early A D A I swear I'll never forget again An explorer he went wandering To satisfy his pondering Basically meandering Unsure of what he'd find Braving any danger But to his family he's a stranger And from time to time he turns around And this runs through his mind chorus There's a multitude of story Some is clean and some are gory But there is no need to worry If you're sold or if you're bought We're just spinning on some granite That we like to call a planet And if you need to contemplate Well here's an optimistic thought ***************************************************************** Clare White Colt-Andrews School, Grade 4 Bristol, RI USA bw0001@ride.ri.net
