Englishman in New York

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


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


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


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


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


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


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

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


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


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


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


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