Version 1
            The Proclaimers - Throw the 'R' Away from their first album "This is the Story"
By Doom Drew

Capo 4


[Intro]
E  A  E  B7  (x2)

E            A
I've been so sad
      Am                     E
Since you said my accent was bad
E               A            Am         E
He's wearin' a frown   This Caledonian clown


    E                              A
I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
   Am           Am7              B7               E
To make sure my words    On your Saxon ears don't grate
    E                        A
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
     Am                Am7          B7             E
If I flattened all the vowels   And threw the 'R' away


Some days I stand
On your green and pleasant land
How dare I show face
When my diction is such a disgrace

I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
To make sure my words
On your Saxon ears don't grate
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
If I flattened all the vowels
And threw the 'R' away


E               E7
You say that if I want to get ahead
A              Am7
The language I use should be left for dead
E          B7          E     B7
It doesn't please your ear
E              E7
And though you tell it like a leg-pull
A               Am7
It seems you're still full of John Bull
E        B7        E      B7
You just refuse to hear


Oh what can I do
To be understood by you
Perhaps for some money
I could talk like a bee dripping honey.

I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
To make sure my words
On your Saxon ears don't grate
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
If I flattened all the vowels
And threw the 'R' away

You say that if I want to get ahead
The language I use should be left for dead
It doesn't please your ear
And though you tell it like a leg-pull
I think you're still full of John Bull
You just refuse to hear

He's been so sad
Since you said his accent was bad
He's wearin' a frown
This Caledonian clown

I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
To make sure my words
On your Saxon ears don't grate
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
If I flattened all the vowels
And threw the 'R' away
Flattened all the vowels
And threw the 'R' away
If I flattened all the vowels
And threw the 'R' away
