Englishman In New York. Sting
intro:
Bm Bm7
vrese 1:
Em A Bm Bm7
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
Em A Bm Bm7
I like my toast done on the side
Em A Bm Bm7
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
Em A Bm Bm7
I'm an Englishman in New York
verse 2:
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
chorus:
Em A Bm Bm7
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
Em A Bm Bm7
I'm an Englishman in New York
Em A Bm Bm7
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
Em A Bm Bm7
I'm an Englishman in New York
verse 2:
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
chorus:
verse 3:
D A A7
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
Bm Bm7 F#
You could end up as the only one
G A
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
Gdim7 Bm
At night a candle's brighter than the sun
verse 4:
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
repeat verse 2 & chorus to end
