Sting - English Man In New Yorkadd

Dm             G            Am           Am7
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
Dm         G                Am    Am7
I like my toast done on the side
Dm           G            Am            Am7
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
        Dm        G       Am   Am7
I'm an Englishman in New York

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

Dm      G      Am          Am7
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        Dm        G       Am   Am7
I'm an Englishman in New York
Dm      G      Am          Am7
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        Dm        G       Am   Am7
I'm an Englishman in New York

If "manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

C                       G         G7
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
Am           Am7             E
You could end up as the only one
 F                        G
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
   G*                              Am
At night a candle's brighter than the sun

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

If "manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
