Englishman in New York

[Intro]
Dm G Am Am 4x


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


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


[Chorus]
Dm     G      Am
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
       Dm         G      Am
I'm an Englishman in New York
Dm     G      Am
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
       Dm         G      Am
I'm an Englishman in New York


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


[Chorus]
Dm     G      Am
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
       Dm         G      Am
I'm an Englishman in New York
Dm     G      Am
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
       Dm         G      Am
I'm an Englishman in New York


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

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


[Solo]
Dm G Am Am 4x


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


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


[Chorus]
Dm     G      Am
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
       Dm         G      Am
I'm an Englishman in New York
Dm     G      Am
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
       Dm         G      Am
I'm an Englishman in New York
