An Englishman in New York, performed by Sting

key: Bm

(Bm) (Bm7)

(Em)I don't drink c(A)offee I take (Bm)tea my dear(Bm7)

(Em)I like my t(A)oast done on the (Bm)side(Bm7)

(Em)And you can h(A)ear it in my (Bm)accent when I (Bm7)talk

I'm an E(Em)nglishman (A)in New Y(Bm)ork(Bm7)

See me walking down Fifth Avenue

A walking cane here at my side

I take it everywhere I walk

I'm an Englishman in New York

(Em)I'm an a(A)lien (Bm)I'm a legal (Bm7)alien

I'm an E(Em)nglishman (A)in New Y(Bm)ork(Bm7)

(Em)I'm an a(A)lien (Bm)I'm a legal (Bm7)alien

I'm an E(Em)nglishman (A)in New Y(Bm)ork(Bm7)

If "manners maketh man" as someone said

Then he's the hero of the day

It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile

Be yourself no matter what they say

{column_break}

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

(D)Modesty, propriety can l(A)ead to not(A7)oriety

(Bm)You could end(Bm7) up as the only (F#)one

G(G)entleness, sobriety are r(A)are in this society

At (Gdim7)night a candle's brighter than the (Bm)sun

Takes more than combat gear to make a man

Takes more than license for a gun

Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can

A gentleman will walk but never run

If "manners maketh man" as someone said

Then he's the hero of the day

It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile

Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
