Lyrics

“It’s him or me.”

That’s what he (G7)said,

but I can’t choose

be tween a (C9)ve gan and a (F)pot head.

So I chose you,

be cause you’re sweet

and you give me lots of lov (C7)in’,

and you (F)eat meat.

And (C)that’s how you be came

my on ly (G)man of the (C)hour.

You nev er (C)lie,

and you don’t cheat,

and you (C)don’t have an y bag gage tied to your (F)four feet.

Do I de (C)serve

to be the one

who will (C)feed you break fast, (C7)lunch and din ner, and take you to the (Fm)park at dawn?

(C)Will you real ly be

my on ly (G)man of the (C)hour.

I know you’ll nev er bring me (C)flow ers;

flow ers, (G13)they will on ly die.

And though we’ll (Fm)nev er take a (C)show (Bb7)er to geth (A7)er,

I (D7)know

you’ll nev er make me (G7)cry.

You nev er

(C)ar gue;

you don’t e ven (G)talk.

And I (C)like the way you let (C7)me lead you

(F)when we go out (F#dim7)side and walk.

(C)Will you real ly be

my on ly (G7)man

of the (C9)hour,

my on ly man

of the (C7)hour,

my on ly (G)man of the hour?

(Woof!)

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.

Can I slow "Man Of The Hour" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
