An Englishman in New York(Chords)

	        (Bm)  (Bm7)
(Em)I don't drink c(A)offee I take (Bm)tea my dear(Bm7)
(Em)I like my t(A)oast done on the (Bm)side(Bm7)
(Em)And you can h(A)ear it in my (Bm)accent when I (Bm7)talk
I'm an E(Em)nglishman (A)in New Y(Bm)ork(Bm7)

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
(Em)I'm an a(A)lien   (Bm)I'm a legal (Bm7)alien
I'm an E(Em)nglishman (A)in New Y(Bm)ork(Bm7)
(Em)I'm an a(A)lien   (Bm)I'm a legal (Bm7)alien
I'm an E(Em)nglishman (A)in New Y(Bm)ork(Bm7)

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

{column_break}
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
(D)Modesty, propriety can l(A)ead to not(A7)oriety
(Bm)You could end(Bm7) up as the only (F#)one
G(G)entleness, sobriety are r(A)are in this society
At (Gdim7)night a candle's brighter than the (Bm)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
