Sting - English Man In New Yorkadd

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

D#m      G#      A#m          A#m7
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        D#m        G#       A#m   A#m7
I'm an Englishman in New York
D#m      G#      A#m          A#m7
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        D#m        G#       A#m   A#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

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