Lyrics and Music by Sting

Intro: Bm E | F#m F#m F#m E  } ×4

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

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

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

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

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

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

Instrumental: Bm7 E7 | F#m F#m7  } ×4
              … } ×4

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

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

        Bm      E                F#m
Be yourself, no matter what they say,
E       Bm      E                F#m
Be yourself, no matter what they say.
