The Proclaimers - Throw the 'R' Away from their first album "This is the Story"
By Doom Drew
NOTE: I learned this purely by listening so I would appreciate any corrections that may
be appropriate.
Also there is one particular chord which I (using online chord identifier) identified as
Emaj7sus4.
The chord looks like this... It is much simpler than the name suggests.

Capo 4
[Intro]
E A E Emaj7sus4 (x2)
EI've been so Asad
Since Amyou said my accent was Ebad
EHe's wearin' a fArown This CAmaledonian cElown
I'm Ejust going to have to learn to Ahesitate
Am Am7 Emaj7sus4 E
To make sure my words On your Saxon ears don't grate
But EI wouldn't know a single Aword to say
Am Am7 Emaj7sus4 E
If I flattened all the vowels And threw the 'R' away
ESome days I Astand
OAmn your green aEnd pleasant land
EHow Adare I show face
WheAmn my dictioEn is such a disgrace
I'm Ejust going to have to learn to Ahesitate
Am Am7 Emaj7sus4 E
To make sure my words On your Saxon ears don't grate
But EI wouldn't know a single Aword to say
Am Am7 Emaj7sus4 E
If I flattened all the vowels And threw the 'R' away
EYou say that if E7I want to get ahead
AThe language I Am7use should be left for dead
E Emaj7sus4 E
It doesn't please your ear
EAnd though you E7tell it like a leg-pull
AIt seems you're Am7still full of John Bull
E Emaj7sus4 E
You just refuse to hear
EOh what can I Ado
TAmo be undersEtood by you
EPerhapsA for some money
IAm could talk like a Ebee dripping honey.
I'm Ejust going to have to learn to Ahesitate
Am Am7 Emaj7sus4 E
To make sure my words On your Saxon ears don't grate
But EI wouldn't know a single Aword to say
Am Am7 Emaj7sus4 E
If I flattened all the vowels And threw the 'R' away
EYou say that if E7I want to get ahead
AThe language I Am7use should be left for dead
E Emaj7sus4 E
It doesn't please your ear
EAnd though you E7tell it like a leg-pull
AIt seems you're Am7still full of John Bull
E Emaj7sus4 E
You just refuse to hear
EHe's been so sad
SAmince you said hiEs accent was bad
EHe'As wearin' a frown
TAmhisE Caledonian clown
I'm Ejust going to have to learn to Ahesitate
Am Am7 Emaj7sus4 E
To make sure my words On your Saxon ears don't grate
But EI wouldn't know a single Aword to say
Am Am7 Emaj7sus4 E
If I flattened all the vowels And threw the 'R' away
Am Am7 Emaj7sus4 E
Flattened all the vowels And threw the 'R' away
Am Am7 Emaj7sus4 E
If I flattened all the vowels And threw the 'R' away
