Sting - Englishman In New York: chords

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

See me walking down Fifth Avenue
A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York

Chorus:
Em     A    Bm
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
       Em         A       Bm
I'm an Englishman in New York
Em     A    Bm
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
       Em         A      Bm
I'm an Englishman in New York

If "manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself, no matter what they say

Chorus

 D                      A
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
Bm                           F#
You could end up as the only one
 G                        A
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
   F#/A#                               Bm
At night a candle's brighter than the sun

Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than a license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run

If "manners maketh man" as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself, no matter what they say

Be yourself, no matter what they say
Be yourself, no matter what they say
Be yourself, no matter what they say
Be yourself, no matter what they say

Chorus

I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
(Be yourself, no matter what they say)
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
(Be yourself, no matter what they say)
I'm an Englishman in New York
