Sting - English Man In New Yorkadd

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

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

E                       B         B7
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
C#m           C#m7             G#
You could end up as the only one
 A                        B
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
   G*                              C#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
