Oscar The Angel

A                         D
Oscar was an angel and he used to 
walk the streets
                  A          
Shoutin' out some prophecy to 
 G             E
everyone he'd meet
         A                     D
He was a local fixture; like a cop 
out on a beat
                     A             
Folks said he'd been shell-shocked 
        E
long a- -go
              D     F#m           
And more than that, no one seemed 
   E
to know

A                            D
Oscar was a walker, at least four 
miles twice a day
                     A          
The entire length of main street 
         G                E
he'd be shoutin' all the way
    A                         D
And I had no idea, where he'd heard 
the things he'd say
                    A              
But he was not your normal voice of
 E
 doom
         D                F#m     
It was a happy song, sung slightly
        E
 out of tune

[Chorus]
              D              E
And he'd say, "Everyone will die and
 go to
A
heaven.

    D              E         
And we will all be angels some 
  D
day-aa-aa.
                         E         
And what you are in this world 
            A
don't count for nothin'.
       D           A              
'Cause we are only children, we're
      G              E
 just lost along the way.
    D              E           D
But we will all be angels some day"

     A                             
Well I worked at the Rialto; I sold
 D
 tickets at the door
                    A              
And Oscar he'd come by most ev'ry- 
G                    E
-day 'bout half past four
         A                         
And he'd pay to see some movie that
      D
 he'd seen ten times before
                     A             
But mostly we'd just let him in for
 E
 free
                    D           
And he'd watch five minutes then 
      F#m              E
he'd come and talk to me

Repeat [Chorus]

          A                     
Well it's going on ten years now 
       D
since I left my home town
                     A             
And I went back last summer; for a 
G              E
week I hung a- -round
A                            
I looked out for Oscar; he was 
  D
nowhere to be found
                  A             
Someone said they finally had to 
      E               D
com- -mit him and he died
       F#m                   E
Before they had time to for- -get 
him

        A                          
Now I'm not about to argue, Oscar's
 D
 train had jumped the tracks
                     A          
But I'll bet my last dollar on a 
 G                E
plain and simple fact
A                             D
Oscar never said a word about me 
behind my back
                      A        
And the way the I was raised to 
        E
under- -stand
           D           F#m   
Well, that bone, makes him the 
         E
better man

Repeat [Chorus]

                   E            A
Ya, we will all be angels some- -day
