Lyrics and Music by Sting

Intro: Em A | Bm Bm Bm A  } ×4

Em               A
I don’t drink coffee,
       Bm           A
I take tea, my dear,
Em          A                Bm   A
I like my toast done on one side.
Em           A
And you can hear it
        Bm
In my accent when I talk,
A      Em         A       Bm   A
I’m an Englishman in New York.

Em            A                Bm   A
You see me walking down Fifth Avenue
Em          A              Bm   A
A walking cane here at my side.
Em         A            Bm
I take it everywhere I walk,
A      Em         A       Bm
I’m an Englishman in New York.

Chorus:
         Em
     Woo-ooh,
            A      Bm
     I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien,
            Em         A       Bm
     I’m an Englishman in New York.
     A   Em
     Woo-ooh,
            A      Bm
     I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien,
            Em
     I’m an Englishman
     A       Bm     A
     In New York.

Em            A
If “manners maketh man,”
       Bm        A
As someone said,
Em         A     Bm       A
He’s the hero of the day.
Em          A
It takes a man
            Bm
To suffer ignorance and smile,
A      Em       A                Bm
Be yourself, no matter what they say.

Chorus:
         Em
     Woo-ooh,
            A      Bm
     I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien,
            Em         A       Bm
     I’m an Englishman in New York.
     A   Em
     Woo-ooh,
            A      Bm
     I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien,
            Em
     I’m an Englishman
     A       Bm     A
     In New York.

Bridge:
   D
   Modesty, propriety,
       A
   Can lead to notoriety
       Bm
   But you could end up
               F#
   As the only one.
   G
   Gentleness, sobriety,
      A
   So rare in this society,
      F#7
   At night a candle’s brighter
             Bm
   Than the sun.

Instrumental: Em7 A7 | Bm Bm7  } ×4
              … } ×4

Em              A
Takes more than combat
       Bm           A
Gear to make a man,
Em                A             Bm  A
Takes more than a licence for a gun.
Em            A
Confront your enemies,
  Bm                     A
Avoid them when you can,
  Em              A              Bm A
A gentleman will walk but never run.

Em            A
If “manners maketh man,”
       Bm        A
As someone said,
Em         A     Bm       A
He’s the hero of the day.
Em          A
It takes a man
            Bm
To suffer ignorance and smile,
A      Em       A                Bm
Be yourself, no matter what they say.

        Em      A                Bm
Be yourself, no matter what they say,
A       Em      A                Bm
Be yourself, no matter what they say.

Sung over the Chorus:
        Em      A                Bm
Be yourself, no matter what they say,
        Em      A                Bm
Be yourself, no matter what they say.
A       Em      A                Bm
Be yourself, no matter what they say,

Be yourself, no matter what they say.

A       Em      A                Bm

Be yourself, no matter what they say.
A       Em      A                Bm

Be yourself, no matter what they say.

A       Em      A                Bm
Be yourself, no matter what they say,

Be yourself, no matter what they say.
A       Em      A                Bm
Be yourself, no matter what they say,
        Em      A                Bm
Be yourself, no matter what they say…
