Intro:
Am Am7 Am Am7 x2
Verse:
Dm G Am Am7
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
Dm G Am Am7
I like my toast done on one side
Dm G Am Am7
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
Dm G Am
I'm an Englishman in New York
Dm G Am Am7
See me walking down Fifth Avenue
Dm G Am Am7
A walking cane here at my side
Dm G Am Am7
I take it everywhere I walk
Dm G Am
I'm an Englishman in New York
Chorus:
Dm G Am Am7
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
Dm G Am
I'm an Englishman in New York
Dm G Am Am7
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
Dm G Am
I'm an Englishman in New York
Verse:
Dm G Am Am7
If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Dm G Am Am7
Then he's the hero of the day
Dm G Am Am7
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Dm G Am
Be yourself no matter what they say
Chorus:
Dm G Am Am7
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
Dm G Am
I'm an Englishman in New York
Dm G Am Am7
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
Dm G Am
I'm an Englishman in New York
Bridge:
C G G7
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
Am Am7 D
You could end up as the only one
F G
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
F Am
At night a candle's brighter than the sun
Verse:
Dm G Am Am7
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Dm G Am Am7
Takes more than a license for a gun
Dm G Am Am7
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
Dm G Am
A gentleman will walk but never run
Dm G Am Am7
If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Dm G Am Am7
Then he's the hero of the day
Dm G Am Am7
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Dm G Am
Be yourself no matter what they say
Dm G Am
Be yourself no matter what they say
Dm G Am
Be yourself no matter what they say
Chorus:
Dm G Am Am7
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
Dm G Am
I'm an Englishman in New York
Dm G Am Am7
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
Dm G Am
I'm an Englishman in New York
