Monday: Late again, today, 
Amaj7                           Dmaj7      C#m7
 He’d be in trouble though he'd say he was sorry,
Dmaj7         C#m7             Amaj7   Dmaj7
 He’d have to hurry out to the bus
    Amaj7
Tuesday: Horace was so sad,
Amaj7                       Dmaj7    C#m7
 He’d never had a girl that he could care for
Dmaj7          C#m7                    Amaj7  Dmaj7
 And if he was late once more, he’d be out oh oh


A           D7/9  D7 A                  D7/9   D7
  Don't be afraid,    just knock on the door,
     A                   D7/9         D7
Well he just stood there mumblin' and fumblin'
A                   D7/9 D7
 Then a voice from above said
A                  A/G
"Horace Wimp, this is your life,
   D/F#            Dm/F
Go on and find yourself a wife
A                A/G
Make a stand and be a man,
    D/F#            Dm/F
And you will have a great life plan"
        A      A/G      D/F#        Dm/F
You can do it
        A      A/G      D/F#        Dm/F
Come on Horace

  She was small and she was very  pretty,
Dmaj7          C#m7                 Amaj7    Dmaj7
 He thought he was in love, he was afraid oh oh

 The cafe down the street tomorrow evening,

His head was reeling, when she said "Yes,  OK"

 For the rest of my life" and she did
