the chord quality (e.g. minor or lowercase m, or the symbols o or + for diminished and augmented chords, respectively; chord quality is usually omitted for major chords) whether the chord is a triad , seventh chord , or an extended chord (e.g. Δ 7 )

The lyrics to the song are all puns for musical terminology. Whenever Eric Stewart sings the name of a chord, that chord is played as part of the music to the song. The chart below attempts to explain this idea. I bought A = A major (A C♯ E) [A] flat = A Flat major (A♭ C E♭) [A flat] diminished = A Flat diminished (A♭ Cb E♭♭)
