Englishman in New York

[Intro]
D#m G# A#m A#m 4x


[Verse]
D#m            G#      
  I don't drink coffee
        A#m
I take tea my dear
D#m        G#                 A#m
I like my toast done on the side
D#m          G#       
  And you can hear it
       A#m
in my accent when I talk
       D#m            G#   A#m
I'm an Englishman in New York


[Verse]
D#m     G#            A#m
See me walking down Fifth Avenue
D#m        G#               A#m
A walking cane here at my side
D#m        G#            A#m
I take it everywhere I walk
       D#m            G#      A#m
I'm an Englishman in New York


[Chorus]
D#m     G#      A#m
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
       D#m         G#      A#m
I'm an Englishman in New York
D#m     G#      A#m
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
       D#m         G#      A#m
I'm an Englishman in New York


[Verse]
D#m           G#      
  If, "Manners maketh
            A#m
man" as someone said
D#m            G#           A#m
Then he's the hero of the day
D#m         G#             
  It takes a man to suffer
  A#m
ignorance and smile
       D#m      G#      
  Be yourself no matter
           A#m
what they say


[Chorus]
D#m     G#      A#m
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
       D#m         G#      A#m
I'm an Englishman in New York
D#m     G#      A#m
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
       D#m         G#      A#m
I'm an Englishman in New York


[Bridge]
C#                      G#  
Modesty, propriety can lead to not

oriety
A#m                           F
You could end up as the only one
F#                    
  Gentleness, sobriety
     G#
are rare in this society
   F               
  At night a candle's
                   A#m
brighter than the sun


[Solo]
D#m G# A#m A#m 4x


[Verse]
D#m              G#      
  Takes more than combat
         A#m
gear to make a man
D#m              
  Takes more than
   G#             A#m
a license for a gun
D#m            G#        
  Confront your enemies,
  A#m
avoid them when you can
     D#m          
  A gentleman will
  G#              A#m
walk but never run


[Verse]
D#m           G#      
  If, "Manners maketh
         A#m
man" as someone said
D#m            G#           A#m
Then he's the hero of the day
D#m         G#             
  It takes a man to suffer
  A#m
ignorance and smile
       D#m      G#      
  Be yourself no matter
           A#m
what they say
       D#m      G#      
  Be yourself no matter
           A#m
what they say
       D#m      G#      
  Be yourself no matter
           A#m
what they say


[Chorus]
D#m     G#      A#m
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
       D#m         G#      A#m
I'm an Englishman in New York
D#m     G#      A#m
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
       D#m         G#      A#m
I'm an Englishman in New York
