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
