the chord pattern in this song is really weird, yet pretty brilliant.

BbWhen their house is filled with flames
GEarning him honor and fame
CJacques Lamure is a foreman at a cFlock factory
EmHe wishes he were bAoss
G#So he could fire that scoundrel William C#Moss
BbWho always puts him down
GWhen Megan Blanchard is around
DmHe told himself last year
Cthat when springtime was here
BbHe would suddenly appear at Meg's C#door
He'd rent a G#mariachi band and rCmespectfully demand
AHis dear Meg to take his hand
