The Diary Of Horace Wimp by Electric Light Orchestra


Bbm7
Monday: Late again, today,
                               Gm        F
he'd be in trouble though he'd say he was sorry,
Gm            F             Bbm7       Eb
he'd have to hurry out the bus.
        Bbm7
Tuesday: Horace was so sad,
                           Gm        F
he'd never had a girl that he could care for,
Gm             F                      Bbm7     Eb
and if he was late once more, he'd be out.
   Bb          Eb7   Bb                Eb7
   Don't be afraid, just knock on the door,
        Bb                  Eb7       
   Well he just stood there mumblin' and fumblin'.
   Bb                 Eb7
   Then a voice from above said—
      Bb                Ab
    "Horace Wimp, this is your life,
       Gm               F#
     Go out and find yourself a wife.
     Bb               Ab
     Make a stand and be a man,
       Gm              F#
     And you will have a great life plan."

she was small and she was very pretty,
Gm            F                 Bbm7        Eb

Sunday: Everybody's at the church,
                          Gm                  F

Gm              F                 Bb    Eb
for the rest of my life." and she did.
