Randy Travis - Oscar the angel

^AOscar was an angel and he ^Dused to walk the streets Shoutin' out some ^Aprophecy to ^Geveryone he'd ^Emeet He was a ^Alocal fixture; like a ^Dcop out on a beat Folks said he'd been ^Ashell-shocked long a- ^E-go And more than ^Dthat, ^F#mno one seemed to ^Eknow

^AOscar was a walker, at least ^Dfour miles twice a day The entire length of ^Amain street he'd be ^Gshoutin' all the ^Eway And ^AI had no idea, where he'd ^Dheard the things he'd say But he was not your ^Anormal voice of ^Edoom It was a ^Dhappy song, sung ^F#mslightly out of ^Etune

And he'd say, ^D"Everyone will ^Edie and go to ^Aheaven. And ^Dwe will all be ^Eangels some ^Dday-aa-aa. And what you are in this ^Eworld don't count for ^Anothin'. 'Cause ^Dwe are only ^Achildren, we're just ^Glost along the ^Eway. But ^Dwe will all be ^Eangels some ^Dday"

Well ^AI worked at the Rialto; I sold ^Dtickets at the door And Oscar he'd come ^Aby most ev'ry- ^G-day 'bout half past ^Efour And he'd ^Apay to see some movie that he'd ^Dseen ten times before But mostly we'd just ^Alet him in for ^Efree And he'd watch five ^Dminutes then he'd ^F#mcome and talk to ^Eme

Well it's ^Agoing on ten years now since ^DI left my home town And I went back last ^Asummer; for a ^Gweek I hung a- ^E-round ^AI looked out for Oscar; he was ^Dnowhere to be found Someone said they ^Afinally had to com- ^E-mit him and he ^Ddied Before ^F#mthey had time to for- ^E-get him

Now I'm ^Anot about to argue, Oscar's ^Dtrain had jumped the tracks But I'll bet my last ^Adollar on a ^Gplain and simple ^Efact ^AOscar never said a word about ^Dme behind my back And the way the I was ^Araised to under- ^E-stand Well, that ^Dbone, makes ^F#mhim the better ^Eman

Ya, we will all be ^Eangels some- ^A-day [Thanks to Gmwns@aol.com for tabs]
