[Verse 1]
Em               A          Bm          A
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
Em            A               Bm   A
I like my toast done on one side
Em          A               Bm    
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
A       Em            A     Bm   A
I'm an Englishman in New  York

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


[Chorus]
Em      A    Bm
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
A        Em        A        Bm  A
I'm an Englishman  in New York  Woo-ooh
Em      A    Bm
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
A        Em        A      Bm   A
I'm an Englishman in New York


[Verse 2]
Em                A                 Bm   A
If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Em            A           Bm   A
Then he's the hero of the day
Em                A             Bm       
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
A       Em         A             Bm   A
Be yourself no matter what they say   Woo-ooh


[Chorus]
Em      A    Bm
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
A        Em        A        Bm   A
I'm an Englishman  in New York   Woo-ooh 
Em      A    Bm
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
A        Em        A      Bm   A
I'm an Englishman in New York


[Bridge]
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
  A#dim7                             Bm
At night a candle's brighter than the sun


[Instrumental]
Em   A   Bm  A  x4


[Verse 3]
Em                A                   Bm   A
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Em                A             Bm   A
Takes more than a license for a gun
Em                A                Bm
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A       Em         A             Bm   A
A gentleman will walk but never run

Em                A                 Bm   A
If, "Manners maketh man" as someone said
Em            A           Bm   A
Then he's the hero of the day
Em                A            Bm
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
A       Em         A             Bm   A
Be yourself no matter what they say   Woo-ooh


[Chorus]
Em      A    Bm
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
A        Em        A        Bm   A
I'm an Englishman  in New York   Woo-ooh
Em      A    Bm
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
A        Em        A      Bm   A
I'm an Englishman in New York
