Englishman In New York

Em               A          Bm
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
Em            A               Bm
I like my toast done on one side
Em          A               Bm
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
       Em            A     Bm
I'm an Englishman in New  York

Em       A            Bm
See me walking down Fifth Avenue
Em         A               Bm
A walking cane here at my side
Em         A               Bm
I take it everywhere I walk
Em                A       Bm
I'm an Englishman in New York


[Chorus]

Em      A    Bm
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        Em        A        Bm
I'm an Englishman  in New York
Em      A    Bm
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        Em        A      Bm
I'm an Englishman in New York


[Verse 2]

Em                A                 Bm
If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Em            A           Bm
Then he's the hero of the day
Em                A             Bm
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
       Em         A             Bm
Be yourself no matter what they say

[Chorus]

Em      A    Bm
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        Em        A        Bm
I'm an Englishman  in New York
Em      A    Bm
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        Em        A      Bm
I'm an Englishman in New York


[Bridge]

D                       A
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
Bm                             F#
You could end up as the only one
 G                        A
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
  F#/A#                               Bm
At night a candle's brighter than the sun


[Instrumental]

Em   A   Bm  x4


[Verse 3]

Em                A                   Bm
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Em                A             Bm
Takes more than a license for a gun
Em                A                Bm
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
       Em         A             Bm
A gentleman will walk but never run

Em                A                 Bm
If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Em            A           Bm
Then he's the hero of the day
Em                A            Bm
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile

       Em         A             Bm
Be yourself no matter what they say


[Chorus]

Em      A    Bm
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        Em        A        Bm
I'm an Englishman  in New York
Em      A    Bm
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        Em        A      Bm
I'm an Englishman in New York
