Lyrics and Music by Sting

Intro: Gm C | Dm Dm Dm C  } ×4

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

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

Chorus:
         Gm
     Woo-ooh,
            C      Dm
     I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien,
            Gm         C       Dmadd9
     I’m an Englishman in New York.
     C   Gm
     Woo-ooh,
            C      Dm
     I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien,
            Gm
     I’m an Englishman
     C       Dmadd9 C
     In New York.

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

Chorus:
         Gm
     Woo-ooh,
            C      Dm
     I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien,
            Gm         C       Dmadd9
     I’m an Englishman in New York.
     C   Gm
     Woo-ooh,
            C      Dm
     I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien,
            Gm
     I’m an Englishman
     C       Dmadd9 C/E
     In New York.

Bridge:
   F               F/A
   Modesty, propriety,
       C
   Can lead to notoriety
       Dm
   But you could end up
               A
   As the only one.
   Bb
   Gentleness, sobriety,
      C
   So rare in this society,
      A7/C#
   At night a candle’s brighter
             Dm
   Than the sun.

Instrumental: Gm7 C7 | Dm Dm7  } ×4
              … } ×4

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

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

        Gm      C                Dm

Be yourself, no matter what they say.
