be appropriate .

Emaj7 sus4 .

capo 4

intro E A E Emaj7 sus4 ( 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 Emaj7 sus4 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 Emaj7 sus4 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 Emaj7 sus4 E
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 Emaj7 sus4 E
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
