South Pacific - Cockeyed Optimist Ukulele chords by Misc Musicals

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

🎸 Verse 1:
      F            Dm
When the skies are brighter canary yellow
   C             Am
I forget ev'ry cloud I've ever seen,
      G#         C
So they called me a cockeyed optimist
   C#         F
Immature and incurably green.


🎸 Verse 2:
      F            Dm
I have heard people rant and rave and bellow
  C             Am
That we're done and we might as well be dead,
   G#         C
But I'm only a cockeyed optimist
   C#         F
And I can't get it into my head.

🎸 Bridge:
A
I hear the human race
Em
Is fallin' on its face
C
And hasn't very far to go,
A
But ev'ry whippoorwill
G
Is sellin' me a bill,
C             G
And tellin' me it just ain't so.

🎸 Verse 3:
 F            Dm
I could say life is just a bowl of Jello
  C             Am
And appear more intelligent and smart,
  A
But I'm stuck like a dope
   Em
With a thing called hope,
               C
And I can't get it out of my heart!
Dm  C  F
Not this heart...
