Capo 2nd Fret
A augmentedA 
D MajorD
Oscar was an angel and he used to walk the streets
A augmentedA 
G+G 
E MajorE
Shoutin' out some prophecy to everyone he'd meet
A augmentedA D MajorD
He was a local fixture; like a cop out on a beat
A augmentedA E MajorE
Folks said he'd been shell-shocked long a- -go
D MajorD 
F# minorF#m E MajorE
And more than that, no one seemed to know
A augmentedA D MajorD
Oscar was a walker, at least four miles twice a day
A augmentedA G+G E MajorE
The entire length of main street he'd be shoutin' all the way
A augmentedA D MajorD
And I had no idea, where he'd heard the things he'd say
A augmentedA E MajorE
But he was not your normal voice of doom
D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
It was a happy song, sung slightly out of tune
Chorus:
D MajorD E MajorE
And he'd say, "Everyone will die and go to
A augmentedA
heaven.
D MajorD E MajorE D MajorD
And we will all be angels some day-aa-aa.
E MajorE A augmentedA
And what you are in this world don't count for nothin'.
D MajorD A augmentedA G+G E MajorE
'Cause we are only children, we're just lost along the way.
D MajorD E MajorE D MajorD
But we will all be angels some day"
A augmentedA D MajorD
Well I worked at the Rialto; I sold tickets at the door
A augmentedA G+G E MajorE
And Oscar he'd come by most ev'ry- -day 'bout half past four
A augmentedA D MajorD
And he'd pay to see some movie that he'd seen ten times before
A augmentedA E MajorE
But mostly we'd just let him in for free
D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
And he'd watch five minutes then he'd come and talk to me
Repeat Chorus:
A augmentedA D MajorD
Well it's going on ten years now since I left my home town
A augmentedA G+G E MajorE
And I went back last summer; for a week I hung a- -round
A augmentedA D MajorD
I looked out for Oscar; he was nowhere to be found
A augmentedA E MajorE D MajorD
Someone said they finally had to com- -mit him and he died
F# minorF#m E MajorE
Before they had time to for- -get him
A augmentedA D MajorD
Now I'm not about to argue, Oscar's train had jumped the tracks
A augmentedA G+G E MajorE
But I'll bet my last dollar on a plain and simple fact
A augmentedA D MajorD
Oscar never said a word about me behind my back
A augmentedA E MajorE
And the way the I was raised to under- -stand
D MajorD F# minorF#m E MajorE
Well, that bone, makes him the better man
Repeat Chorus:
E MajorE A augmentedA
Ya, we will all be angels some- -day
