ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK STING
G A Bm7
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
G A Bm7
I like my toast done on the side
G A Bm7
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
G A Bm7
I'm an Englishman in New York
G A Bm7 G A Bm7
See me walking down Fifth Avenue, a walking cane here at my side
G A Bm7 G A Bm7
I take it everywhere I walk, I'm an Englishman in New York
Chorus
G A Bm7
O-ho I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
G A Bm7
I'm an Englishman in New York
G A Bm7
O-ho I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
G A Bm7
I'm an Englishman in New York
G A Bm7
If "manners maketh man" as someone said
G A Bm7
Then he's the hero of the day
G A Bm7
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
G A Bm7
Be yourself no matter what they say ->Refrain
D A A7
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
Bm7 F#
You could end up as the only one
G A
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
G Bm7
At night a candle's brighter than the sun
G A Bm7
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
G A Bm7
Takes more than license for a gun
G A Bm7
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
G A Bm7
A gentleman will walk but never run
repeat first verse & Chorus
