Englishman in New York

[Intro]
Am D Em Em 4x


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


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


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


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


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


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

oriety
Em                           B
You could end up as the only one
C                    
  Gentleness, sobriety
     D
are rare in this society
   B               
  At night a candle's
                   Em
brighter than the sun


[Solo]
Am D Em Em 4x


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


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


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