[Intro]
[Verse]
Em               A          Bm 
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
Em            A               Bm 
I like my toast done on one side
Em          A               Bm 
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
       Em            A     Bm 
I'm an Englishman in New  York
Em       A            Bm 
See me walking down Fifth Avenue
Em         A               Bm 
A walking cane here at my side
Em         A               Bm 
I take it everywhere I walk
Em                A       Bm 
I'm an Englishman in New York
[Chorus]
Em      A    Bm 
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        Em        A        Bm 
I'm an Englishman  in New York
Em      A    Bm 
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        Em        A      Bm 
I'm an Englishman in New York
[Verse]
Em                A                 Bm 
If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Em            A           Bm 
Then he's the hero of the day
Em                A             Bm 
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
       Em         A             Bm 
Be yourself no matter what they say
[Chorus]
Em      A    Bm 
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        Em        A        Bm 
I'm an Englishman  in New York
Em      A    Bm 
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        Em        A      Bm 
I'm an Englishman in New York
[Bridge]
D                       A 
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
Bm                             F# 
You could end up as the only one
 G                        A 
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
  F#/A#                               Bm 
At night a candle's brighter than the sun
[Instrumental]
Em   A   Bm  x4
[Verse]
Em                A                   Bm 
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Em                A             Bm 
Takes more than a license for a gun
Em                A                Bm 
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
       Em         A             Bm 
A gentleman will walk but never run
Em                A                 Bm 
If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Em            A           Bm 
Then he's the hero of the day
Em                A            Bm 
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
       Em         A             Bm 
Be yourself no matter what they say
[Chorus]
Em      A    Bm 
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        Em        A        Bm 
I'm an Englishman  in New York
Em      A    Bm 
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
        Em        A      Bm 
I'm an Englishman in New York
