Oslo chords by John Van Deusen

• Capo on 2nd
• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Key: D

♫ Verse 1:
  C                 G            Am           E
I tried to write a song about a man with no arms
F             G                   C
All he had to give me was his name
C              G          Am                 E
Unfortunately I couldn’t speak his native tongue
   F                  G                 C
And so we shared some silence in the rain

♫ Pre-Chorus:
E            Am             G           C
If I give him money will his arms grow back?
         E                  Am              G
Will my well-intentioned rambling ease the slack?
       F            Am     G        C                    G
And if I promise to pray day after day will his pain go away?

♫ Chorus:
    F          C              G
Yeah, seriously what can I say?
F         C          G
Honestly, what can I sing?
     Am            F       C    G
When morning after morning Oslo waits in the rain

C G Am G F G

♫ Verse 2:
     C                    G                 Am                E
Yeah so I thought up some lines that seemed insightful and strong
        F          G             C
Yes, the wit is dripping from my lips
    C                G          Am            E
But damned if I can’t manage to overcome advantage
   F               G              C
My pride is swaying narcissistic hips

♫ Pre-Chorus:
E            Am             G           C
If I give him money will his arms grow back?
         E                  Am              G
Will my well-intentioned rambling ease the slack?
       F            Am     G        C                    G
And if I promise to pray day after day will his pain go away?

♫ Chorus:
    F          C              G
Yeah, seriously what can I say?
F         C          G
Honestly, what can I sing?
     Am            F       C    G
When morning after morning Oslo waits
     Am            F       C    G
When morning after morning Oslo waits
     E            F       G
When morning after morning Oslo waits in the rain

C G Am G F G

   C              G                Am                 E           F  Fm
Yes Oslo, as things go, you've been dealt a crippling blow, I know

      C        F        Am       G
So Be warm, be safe, be full of grace

So Be warm, be safe, be full of grace
   C        F        Am       G
Be warm, be safe, be full of grace
   C        F        Am       G
Be warm, be safe, be full of grace
