Sting - English Man In New Yorkadd

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

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

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