[Verse 1]
Em7 A7 Bm7 A7
I don’t drink coffee, I take tea, my dear
Em7 A7 Bm7 A7
I like my toast done on one side
Em7 A7 Bm7 A7
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
Em7 A7 Bm7 A7
I’m an Englishman in New York

[Verse 2]
Em7 A7 Bm7 A7
See me walking down Fifth Avenue
Em7 A7 Bm7 A7
A walking cane here at my side
Em7 A7 Bm7 A7
I take it everywhere I walk
Em7 A7 Bm7 A7 Em7
I’m an Englishman in New York Oh,

[Chorus]
A7 Bm7
I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien
A7 Em7 A7 Bm7 A7 Em7
I’m an Englishman in New York Oh,
A7 Bm7
I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien
A7 Em7 A7 Bm7 A7
I’m an Englishman in New York

[Verse 3]
Em7 A7 Bm7 A7
If “manners maketh man” as someone said
Em7 A7 Bm7 A7
He’s the hero of the day
Em7 A7 Bm7
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
A7 Em7 A7 Bm7 A7 Em7
Be yourself no matter what they say Oh,

[Chorus]
A7 Bm7
I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien
A7 Em7 A7 Bm7 A7 Em7
I’m an Englishman in New York Oh,
A7 Bm7
I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien
A7 Em7 A7 Bm7 A7
I’m an Englishman in New York

[Bridge]

Modesty, propriety can lead to nootoriety

You could end up as the only one

Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society

At night a candle’s brighter than the sun

[Verse 4]
Em7 A7 Bm7 A7
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Em7 A7 Bm7 A7
Takes more than a license for a gun
Em7 A7 Bm7 A7
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
Em7 A7 Bm7 A7
A gentleman will walk but never run

[Verse 5]
Em7 A7 Bm7 A7
If “manners maketh man” as someone said
Em7 A7 Bm7 A7
He’s the hero of the day
Em7 A7 Bm7
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
A7 Em7 A7 Bm7
Be yourself no matter what they say
A7 Em7 A7 Bm7
Be yourself no matter what they say
A7 Em7 A7 Bm7
Be yourself no matter what they say
