Travis Randy - Oscar the Angel guitar tab

Chorded by Gary W, 22 Aug 2006

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, (F#m) 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

It was a (D) happy song, sung (F#m) 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'.

'Cause (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 (F#m) 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 (F#m) 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) bone, makes (F#m) him the better (E) man

Repeat Chorus:

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