OPTIMISTIC

Tabbed by..........................Jake Indriks

This is a very simple tab of the song. I'm not sure it's 100% but i like how it plays
when you play it all together at the right speed.. don't worry if it sounds a little off 
when you're learning it.. play as a whole when you're done and it'll sound great.

!Intro! X2
