Oscar The Angel

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