[Intro]
E7 A7 E7 B7
[Verse 1]
E7 A7
I've been so sad
Am7 E7
Since you said my accent was bad
E7 A7
He's worn a frown
Am7 E7
This Caledonian clown
[Chorus 1]
E7 A7
I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
Am Am7
To make sure my words
B7 E7
On your saxon ears don't grate
E7 A7
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
Am Am7
If I flattened all the vowels
B7 E7
And I threw the "R" away
[Verse 2]
E7 A7
Some days I stand
Am7 E7
On your green and pleasant land
E7 A7
How dare I show face
Am7 E
When my diction is such a disgrace?
[Chorus 2]
E7 A7
I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
Am Am7
To make sure my words
B7 E7
On your saxon ears don't grate
E7 A7
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
Am Am7
If I flattened all the vowels
B7 E7
And I threw the "R" away
[Bridge 1]
E E7
You say that if I want to get ahead
A7 Am7
The language I use should be left for dead
E7 B7 E7 B7
It doesn't please your ear
E E7
And though you tell it like a leg-pull
A7 Am7
It seems your still full of John Bull
E7 B7 E7 B7
You just refuse to hear it
[Verse 3]
E E7
Oh, what can I do
Am Am7 E7
To be understood by you?
E E7
Perhaps for some money
E7 B7 E7
I could talk like a bee dripping honey
[Chorus 3]
E7 A7
I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
Am Am7
To make sure my words
B7 E7
On your saxon ears don't grate
E7 A7
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
Am Am7
If I flattened all the vowels
B7 E7
And I threw the "R" away
[Bridge 2]
E E7
You say that if I want to get ahead
A7 Am7
The language I use should be left for dead
E7 B7 E7 B7
It doesn't please your ear
E E7
And though you tell it like a leg-pull
A7 Am7
It seems your still full of John Bull
E7 B7 E7 B7
You just refuse to hear it
[Outro]
E7 A7
He's been so sad
Am7 E7
Since you said my accent was bad
E7 A7
He's worn a frown
Am7 E7
This Caledonian clown
E7 A7
I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
Am Am7
To make sure my words
B7 E7
On your saxon ears don't grate
E7 A7
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
Am Am7
If I flattened all the vowels
B7 E7
And I threw the "R" away
Am Am7
Flattened all the vowels
B7 E7
And I threw the "R" away
Am Am7
If I flattened all the vowels
B7 E7
And I threw the "R" away
Am7 E
