Throw The R Away Chords

(ver. 1)
Proclaimers
[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
