Englishman in New York

[Intro]
C#m F# G#m G#m 4x


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


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


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


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


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


[Bridge]
B                      F#  
Modesty, propriety can lead to not

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


[Solo]
C#m F# G#m G#m 4x


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


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


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