South Pacific - Cockeyed Optimist Ukulele chords by Misc Musicals

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...
