Sting - English Man In New Yorkadd

Am             D            Em           Em7
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
Am         D                Em    Em7
I like my toast done on the side
Am           D            Em            Em7
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
        Am        D       Em   Em7
I'm an Englishman in New York

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

Am      D      Em          Em7
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        Am        D       Em   Em7
I'm an Englishman in New York
Am      D      Em          Em7
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        Am        D       Em   Em7
I'm an Englishman in New York

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
I'm an Englishman in New York

G                       D         D7
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
Em           Em7             B
You could end up as the only one
 C                        D
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
   G*                              Em
At night a candle's brighter than the 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
I'm an Englishman in New York
