[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

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

[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,

        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

Modesty, propriety can lead to nootoriety
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

[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
