[Verse 1]
[G]Jac[C]ques Lamure is a
Volunteer [F]fireman
He [Em]longs to give his [A]life
Saving a [Ab]nice old man and his [C#]wife
When their [Bb]house is
Filled with flames
Earning him [G]honor and fame

[Verse 2]
[C]Jacques Lamure is a foreman
At [F]a clock factory
He [Em]wishes he were [A]boss
So he could [Ab]fire that
scoundrel William [C#]Moss
Who [Bb]always puts him down
When Megan Blanchard [G]is [A]around
[G]He

[Verse 3]
[Dm]told himself last year
That [C]when springtime was here
He would [Bb]suddenly appear
at Meg's [Db]door
He'd rent [Ab]a mariachi band
and re[Cm]spectfully demand
[C]His dear Meg to take his hand
And to be [Cb]his forever [E]more
But of course he didn't dare
And [Db]pretended not to care
[Gb]About the insult or the loss[C]
When [C#]he found out she'd married
[C#m]William [D]Moss

[Verse 4]
[C]Jacques Lamure goes to see a show
Every [F]other Friday night
He [Em]likes the westerns [A]best
He'd rather be [Ab]a sheriff with
a gold star on his [C#]chest
Than that [Bb]weird guy who
never says a word
And [G]when spoken to pretends

[Verse 5]
he hadn't heard
He realized one day that
he [C]didn't have to stay
That he could [Bb]move as far away
as planes could [Db]fly
[Ab]He chuckled as he mused
About the [Cm]people who had [C]rused him
And how shocked and confused
that they would [Cb]be
When he says [E]goodbye and
never turns around
Never re[Db]turns to that
miserable [Bbm]town[Gb]

[Verse 6]
Then as weeks passed he soon did [C]find
This move had [C#]greatly improved
his [C#m]state of [D]mind
