Sting - English Man In New Yorkadd

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

C#m      F#      G#m          G#m7
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        C#m        F#       G#m   G#m7
I'm an Englishman in New York
C#m      F#      G#m          G#m7
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        C#m        F#       G#m   G#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

B                       F#         F#7
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
G#m           G#m7             D#
You could end up as the only one
 E                        F#
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
   G*                              G#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
