the chord pattern in this song is really weird, yet pretty brilliant. C F Jacques Lamure is a volunteer fireman Em A He longs to give his life G# C# Saving a nice old man and his wife Bb When their house is filled with flames G Earning him honor and fame C F Jacques Lamure is a foreman at a clock factory Em A He wishes he were boss G# C# So he could fire that scoundrel William Moss Bb Who always puts him down G When Megan Blanchard is around [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/o/of-montreal/81636.html ] Dm He told himself last year C that when springtime was here Bb C# He would suddenly appear at Meg's door G# Cm He'd rent a mariachi band and respectfully demand A His dear Meg to take his hand B E And to be his forever more E7 But of course he didn't dare A F# and pretended not to care G C About the insult or the loss C# D A F# When he found out she'd married William Moss C Jacques Lamure goes to see a show F every other Friday night Em A He likes the westerns best G# C# He'd rather be a sheriff with a gold star on his chest Bb Than that weird guy who never says a word G And when spoken to pretends he hadn't heard Dm C He realized one day that he didn't have to stay Bb C# That he could move as far away as planes could fly G# He chuckled as he mused Cm About the people who had rused him A B And how shocked and confused that they would be E E7 When he says goodbye and never turns around A F# Never returns to that miserable town G C Then as weeks passed he soon did find C# D A F# This move had greatly improved his state of mind  |
