Lyrics and Music by Sting

Intro: D#m G# | Bbm Bbm Bbm G#  } ×4

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

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

Chorus:
         D#m
     Woo-ooh,
            G#     Bbm
     I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien,
            D#m        G#      Bbmadd9
     I’m an Englishman in New York.
     G#  D#m
     Woo-ooh,
            G#     Bbm
     I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien,
            D#m
     I’m an Englishman
     G#      Bbmadd9 G#
     In New York.

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

Chorus:
         D#m
     Woo-ooh,
            G#     Bbm
     I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien,
            D#m        G#      Bbmadd9
     I’m an Englishman in New York.
     G#  D#m
     Woo-ooh,
            G#     Bbm
     I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien,
            D#m
     I’m an Englishman
     G#      Bbmadd9 G# 
     In New York.

Bridge:
   C#                  
   Modesty, propriety,
       G#
   Can lead to notoriety
       Bbm
   But you could end up
               F
   As the only one.
   F#
   Gentleness, sobriety,
      G#
   So rare in this society,
      F7    
   At night a candle’s brighter
             Bbm
   Than the sun.

Instrumental: D#m7 G#7 | Bbm Bbm7  } ×4
              … } ×4

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

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

        D#m     G#               Bbm
Be yourself, no matter what they say,
G#      D#m     G#               Bbm
Be yourself, no matter what they say.
