Lyrics and Music by Sting

Intro: C#m F# | G#m G#m G#m F#  } ×4

C#m              F#
I don’t drink coffee,
       G#m          F#
I take tea, my dear,
C#m         F#               G#m  F#
I like my toast done on one side.
C#m          F#
And you can hear it
        G#m
In my accent when I talk,
F#     C#m        F#      G#m  F#
I’m an Englishman in New York.

C#m           F#               G#m  F#
You see me walking down Fifth Avenue
C#m         F#             G#m  F#
A walking cane here at my side.
C#m        F#           G#m
I take it everywhere I walk,
F#     C#m        F#      G#m
I’m an Englishman in New York.

Chorus:
         C#m
     Woo-ooh,
            F#     G#m
     I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien,
            C#m        F#      G#madd9
     I’m an Englishman in New York.
     F#  C#m
     Woo-ooh,
            F#     G#m
     I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien,
            C#m
     I’m an Englishman
     F#      G#madd9 F#
     In New York.

C#m           F#
If “manners maketh man,”
       G#m       F#
As someone said,
C#m        F#    G#m      F#
He’s the hero of the day.
C#m         F#
It takes a man
            G#m
To suffer ignorance and smile,
F#     C#m      F#               G#m
Be yourself, no matter what they say.

Chorus:
         C#m
     Woo-ooh,
            F#     G#m
     I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien,
            C#m        F#      G#madd9
     I’m an Englishman in New York.
     F#  C#m
     Woo-ooh,
            F#     G#m
     I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien,
            C#m
     I’m an Englishman
     F#      G#madd9 F#/Bb
     In New York.

Bridge:
   B               B/D#
   Modesty, propriety,
       F#
   Can lead to notoriety
       G#m
   But you could end up
               D#
   As the only one.
   E
   Gentleness, sobriety,
      F#
   So rare in this society,
      D#7/G
   At night a candle’s brighter
             G#m
   Than the sun.

Instrumental: C#m7 F#7 | G#m G#m7  } ×4
              … } ×4

C#m             F#
Takes more than combat
       G#m          F#
Gear to make a man,
C#m               F#            G#m F#
Takes more than a licence for a gun.
C#m           F#
Confront your enemies,
  G#m                    F#
Avoid them when you can,
  C#m             F#             G#m F#
A gentleman will walk but never run.

C#m           F#
If “manners maketh man,”
       G#m       F#
As someone said,
C#m        F#    G#m      F#
He’s the hero of the day.
C#m         F#
It takes a man
            G#m
To suffer ignorance and smile,
F#     C#m      F#               G#m
Be yourself, no matter what they say.

        C#m     F#               G#m
Be yourself, no matter what they say,
F#      C#m     F#               G#m
Be yourself, no matter what they say.

Sung over the Chorus:
        C#m     F#               G#m
Be yourself, no matter what they say,

Be yourself, no matter what they say.

Be yourself, no matter what they say.
F#      C#m     F#               G#m
Be yourself, no matter what they say,

Be yourself, no matter what they say.

F#      C#m     F#               G#m
Be yourself, no matter what they say,

Be yourself, no matter what they say.
F#      C#m     F#               G#m

Be yourself, no matter what they say…
