Em - A - / Bm - - A

Verse 1:
I don't drink coffee, I take tea, my dear
I like my toast done on one side
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
I'm an Englishman in New York

Verse 2:
See me walking down Fifth Avenue
A walking cane here at my side
I take it everywhere I walk
I'm an Englishman in New York

Chorus:
Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
Oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York

Verse 3:
If "manners maketh man" as someone said
He's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

Chorus

Bridge:
Modesty, propriety
can lead to notoriety
You could end up as the only one

Gentleness, sobriety
are rare in this society
At night a candle's brighter than the sun

Verse 4:
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than a license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run

Verse 5:
If "manners maketh man" as someone said
He's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

Before and while last chorus, one voice repeats:
> "Be yourself no matter what they say"

Chorus:
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
Be yourself no matter what they say
oh, I'm an alien, I'm a legal alien
Be yourself no matter what they say
I'm an Englishman in New York
