Chords with lyrics
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.

Intro E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE Emaj7sus4 (x2)
E MajorE A augmentedA
I've been so sad
A minorAm E MajorE
Since you said my accent was bad
E MajorE A augmentedA A minorAm E MajorE
He's wearin' a frown This Caledonian clown
E MajorE A augmentedA
I'm just going to have to learn to hesitate
A minorAm Am7Am7 Emaj7sus4 E MajorE
To make sure my words On your Saxon ears don't grate
E MajorE A augmentedA
But I wouldn't know a single word to say
A minorAm Am7Am7 Emaj7sus4 E MajorE
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 MajorE E7E7
You say that if I want to get ahead
A augmentedA Am7Am7
The language I use should be left for dead
E MajorE Emaj7sus4 E MajorE
It doesn't please your ear
E MajorE E7E7
And though you tell it like a leg-pull
A augmentedA Am7Am7
It seems you're still full of John Bull
E MajorE Emaj7sus4 E MajorE
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
