Lyrics and Music by Sting

Intro: Cm F | Gm Gm Gm F  } ×4

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

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

Chorus:
         Cm
     Woo-ooh,
            F      Gm
     I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien,
            Cm         F       Gmadd9
     I’m an Englishman in New York.
     F   Cm
     Woo-ooh,
            F      Gm
     I’m an alien, I’m a legal alien,
            Cm
     I’m an Englishman
     F       Gmadd9 F
     In New York.

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

Chorus:
         Cm

     I’m an Englishman in New York.

     I’m an Englishman
     F       Gmadd9 F   
     In New York.

Bridge:
   Bb                  
   Modesty, propriety,
       F
   Can lead to notoriety
       Gm
   But you could end up
               D
   As the only one.
   D#
   Gentleness, sobriety,
      F
   So rare in this society,
      D7    
   At night a candle’s brighter
             Gm
   Than the sun.

Instrumental: Cm7 F7 | Gm Gm7  } ×4
              … } ×4

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

He’s the hero of the day.

It takes a man

Be yourself, no matter what they say.

Be yourself, no matter what they say.
