Sting - Englishman in New York
Em A Bm Bm7 |
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear |
Em A Bm Bm7 |
I like my toast done on the side |
Em A Bm Bm7 |
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk |
Em A Bm Bm7 |
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 |
Em A Bm Bm7 |
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien |
Em A Bm Bm7 |
I'm an Englishman in New York |
Em A Bm Bm7 |
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien |
Em A Bm Bm7 |
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 |
D A A7 |
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety |
Bm Bm7 F# |
You could end up as the only one |
G A |
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society |
Gdim7 Bm |
At night a candle's brighter than the sun |
Takes more than combat gear to make a man |
Takes more than 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 |
