Englishman in New York - Sting

I don't drink coffee - I take tea, my dear

I like my toast done - On one side

And you can hear it - In my accent when I talk

I'm an Englishman in New York - …

See me walking down  - Fifth Avenue    [Intro]

A walking cane here  - At my side         (x4)

I take it everywhere I walk   - …   Am D Em Em

I'm an Englishman in New York

                                 [Chorus] (x2)

Wohoh, I'm an alien  - I'm a legal alien

I'm an Englishman in New York

                                    [Verse #2]

If manners maketh man    - As someone said

He's the hero            - Of the day

It takes a man to suffer - Ignorance and smile

(Be yourself, no matter what they say - … x1)

[Bridge] G G D D - Em Em B B   [Chorus] (x2)

         C C D D - D7 D7 Em Em

Modesty, propriety - Can lead to notoriety

You could end up as the only one - …

Gentleness, sobriety

Are rare in this society

At night, a candle's brighter than the sun

(Takes more than (combat gear to make  [Intro]

    a man/a license for a gun) - … x2)    (x4)

Confront your enemies

Avoid them when you can

A gentleman will walk          [Verse #2] (x4)

But never run                    [Chorus] (x4)
