Late again today, he'd be in trouble though [Eb] he'd say he [F] was sorry.
_ _ [Eb] He'd have [Dm] to hurry out, so that bus, _ [Gm] she was dead.
[Bb] _ Horace was [Dm] so sad, he'd never had a girl [Gm] that he [F] could care for.
_ _ [Gm] And if it [F] was late once more, he'd [Dm] be out.
[Eb] Uh oh! _
[Bb] Don't be [Eb] afraid, _ [Bb] just knock on [G] the door.
[Eb]
[Bb] Well, he just stood [Eb] there mumbling and [Bb] fumbling, and the voice [Eb] from above [Bb] said,
Horace, this [Ab] is your life, [Gm] now hold on tight, [Gb] there's some new life,
come [Bb] on, take a step, [Ab] be a man, [Gm] and you will have [Gb] a great life.

[Bb] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Gb] _ _
[Bb] Horace met the girl, she was small and she [Eb] was [Dm] very pretty.
_ _ [Eb] He thought [Dm] he was in love, he was [Bb] afraid.
Uh oh!
[Eb] He asked [Bb] her for a date, they got married down the street [Eb] tomorrow [Dm] evening.
_ _ [Eb] His [Dm] head was meaning, she [Bb] said yes.
[Eb] Okay! _
[Bb] Don't be afraid, [Eb] _ [Bb] just knock on the door.
[Eb]
[Bb] Well, he just stood there [Eb] mumbling and [Bb] fumbling, and the [Eb] voice from above [Bb] said,
Horace, [Ab] this is your life, [Gm] now hold on tight, [Gb] there's some new life, [Bb] come on, take a step,
_ [Eb] and you will have [Gb] a great life.

[D] _ _ [Eb] When [Dm] she says [Am] gladly, [Bb] Horace cries, oh, so bad.
Everybody's at church, when Horace rushes [Eb] in and says,
