Chord/Tab song: Throw the 'R' Away

The Proclaimers - Throw the 'R' Away from their first album "This is the Story"
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
Emaj7 sus4.
The chord looks like this... It is much simpler than the name suggests.

Capo 4

Intro E A E Emaj7 sus4 (x2)

[E]I've been so [A]sad
Since [Am]you said my accent was [E]bad
[E]He's wearin' a f[A]rown This C[Am]aledonian c[E]lown

I'm [E]just going to have to learn to [A]hesitate
To [Am]make sure my [Am7]words On your [Emaj7]Saxon [sus4]ears don't [E]grate
But [E]I wouldn't know a single [A]word to say
If I [Am]flattened all the [Am7]vowels And [Emaj7]threw [sus4]the 'R' [E]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]You say that if [E7]I want to get ahead
[A]The language I [Am7]use should be left for dead
[E]It doesn't [Emaj7]please[sus4] your [E]ear
[E]And though you [E7]tell it like a leg-pull
[A]It seems you're [Am7]still full of John Bull
[E]You just [Emaj7]refuse[sus4] to [E]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
