Lyrics and Music by Sting

Intro: G#m C# | D#m D#m D#m C#  } ×4

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

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

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

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

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

Bridge:
   F#                  
   Modesty, propriety,
       C#
   Can lead to notoriety
       D#m
   But you could end up
               Bb
   As the only one.
   B
   Gentleness, sobriety,
      C#
   So rare in this society,
      Bb7   
   At night a candle’s brighter
             D#m
   Than the sun.

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

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

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

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

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

Be yourself, no matter what they say.

Be yourself, no matter what they say.

C#      G#m     C#               D#m

Be yourself, no matter what they say.
