Lyrics and Music by Sting

Intro: F#m B | C#m C#m C#m B  } ×4

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

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

Chorus:
         F#m
     Woo-ooh,
            B      C#m
     I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien,
            F#m        B       C#madd9
     I’m an Englishman in New York.
     B   F#m
     Woo-ooh,
            B      C#m
     I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien,
            F#m
     I’m an Englishman
     B       C#madd9 B
     In New York.

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

Chorus:
         F#m
     Woo-ooh,
            B      C#m
     I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien,
            F#m        B       C#madd9
     I’m an Englishman in New York.
     B   F#m
     Woo-ooh,
            B      C#m
     I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien,
            F#m
     I’m an Englishman
     B       C#madd9 B  
     In New York.

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

Instrumental: F#m7 B7 | C#m C#m7  } ×4
              … } ×4

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

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

        F#m     B                C#m
Be yourself, no matter what they say,
B       F#m     B                C#m
Be yourself, no matter what they say.
