[Intro]
Cm F Gm Gm 4x
[Verse]
Cm F Gm
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
Cm F Gm
I like my toast done on the side
Cm F Gm
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
Cm F Gm
I'm an Englishman in New York
[Verse]
Cm F Gm
See me walking down Fifth Avenue
Cm F Gm
A walking cane here at my side
Cm F Gm
I take it everywhere I walk
Cm F Gm
I'm an Englishman in New York
[Chorus]
Cm F Gm
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
Cm F Gm
I'm an Englishman in New York
Cm F Gm
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
Cm F Gm
I'm an Englishman in New York
[Verse]
Cm F Gm
If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Cm F Gm
Then he's the hero of the day
Cm F Gm
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Cm F Gm
Be yourself no matter what they say
[Chorus]
Cm F Gm
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
Cm F Gm
I'm an Englishman in New York
Cm F Gm
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
Cm F Gm
I'm an Englishman in New York
[Bridge]

At night a candle's brighter than the sun
[Solo]
Cm F Gm Gm 4x
[Verse]
Cm F Gm
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Cm F Gm
Takes more than a license for a gun
Cm F Gm
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
Cm F Gm
A gentleman will walk but never run
[Verse]
Cm F Gm
If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Cm F Gm
