- Capo on 2nd
Chorded by Gary W, 22 Aug 2006
Capo 2nd Fret
A D
Oscar was an angel and he used to walk the streets
A G E
Shoutin' out some prophecy to everyone he'd meet
A D
He was a local fixture; like a cop out on a beat
A E
Folks said he'd been shell-shocked long a- -go
D F#m E
And more than that, no one seemed to know
A D
Oscar was a walker, at least four miles twice a day
A G E
The entire length of main street he'd be shoutin' all the way
A D
And I had no idea, where he'd heard the things he'd say
A E
But he was not your normal voice of doom
D F#m E
It was a happy song, sung slightly out of tune
Chorus:
D E
And he'd say, "Everyone will die and go to
A
heaven.
D E D
And we will all be angels some day-aa-aa.
E A
And what you are in this world don't count for nothin'.
D A G E
'Cause we are only children, we're just lost along the way.
D E D
But we will all be angels some day"
A D
Well I worked at the Rialto; I sold tickets at the door
A G E
And Oscar he'd come by most ev'ry- -day 'bout half past four
A D
And he'd pay to see some movie that he'd seen ten times before
A E
But mostly we'd just let him in for free
D F#m E
And he'd watch five minutes then he'd come and talk to me
Repeat Chorus:
A D
Well it's going on ten years now since I left my home town
A G E
And I went back last summer; for a week I hung a- -round
A D
I looked out for Oscar; he was nowhere to be found
A E D
Someone said they finally had to com- -mit him and he died
F#m E
Before they had time to for- -get him
A D
Now I'm not about to argue, Oscar's train had jumped the tracks
A G E
But I'll bet my last dollar on a plain and simple fact
A D
Oscar never said a word about me behind my back
A E
And the way the I was raised to under- -stand
D F#m E
Well, that bone, makes him the better man
Repeat Chorus:
E A
Ya, we will all be angels some- -day
