Throw The Raway chords by The Proclaimers

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.

Capo 4

Intro   E A E Emaj7sus4 (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       Emaj7sus4    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     Emaj7sus4  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     Emaj7sus4 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    Emaj7sus4   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
