Sting - English Man In New Yorkadd

Bm             E            F#m           F#m7
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
Bm         E                F#m    F#m7
I like my toast done on the side
Bm           E            F#m            F#m7
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
        Bm        E       F#m   F#m7
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

Bm      E      F#m          F#m7
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        Bm        E       F#m   F#m7
I'm an Englishman in New York
Bm      E      F#m          F#m7
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        Bm        E       F#m   F#m7
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

A                       E         E7
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
F#m           F#m7             C#
You could end up as the only one
 D                        E
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
   G*                              F#m
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
