(verse)
[Dm//] I don't drink [G//] coffee I take [Am] tea my dear
[Dm//] I like my [G//] toast done on one [Am] side
[Dm//] And you can [G//] hear it in my [Am] accent when I talk
I'm an [Dm//] Englishman in [G//] New [Am] York

[Dm//] See me [G//] walking down [Am] Fifth Avenue
[Dm//] A walking [G//] cane here at my [Am] side
[Dm//] I take it [G//] everywhere I walk [Am]
I'm an [Dm//] Englishman in [G//] New [Am] York

(chorus)
[Dm//] I'm an [G//] alien [Am] I'm a legal alien
I'm an [Dm//] Englishman in [G//] New [Am] York
[Dm//] I'm an [G//] alien [Am] I'm a legal alien
I'm an [Dm//] Englishman in [G//] New [Am] York

(verse)
[Dm//] If, "Manners [G//] maketh man" [Am] as someone said
[Dm//] Then he's the [G//] hero of the [Am] day
[Dm//] It takes a man to [G//] suffer ignorance [Am] and smile
Be your[Dm//] self no [G//] matter what they [Am] say

(chorus)
[Dm//] I'm an [G//] alien [Am] I'm a legal alien

(bridge)
[C] Modesty, propriety can [G] lead to notoriety
[Am] You could end up as the only one [E7]
[F] Gentleness, sobriety are [G] Rare in this society
[E7] At night a candle's brighter than the [Am] sun

[Am] ... [Am]...

(verse)
[Dm//] Takes more than [G//] combat gear to make a [Am] man
[Dm//] Takes more than a [G//] license for a [Am] gun
[Dm//] Confront your ene[G//]mies, avoid them [Am] when you can
A gentle[Dm//]man will [G//] walk but never [Am] run

[Dm//] If, "Manners [G//] maketh man" [Am] as someone said
[Dm//] Then he's the [G//] hero of the [Am] day
[Dm//] It takes a man to [G//] suffer ignorance [Am] and smile
Be your[Dm//] self no [G//] matter what they [Am] say
Be your[Dm//] self no [G//] matter what they [Am] say
Be your[Dm//] self no [G//] matter what they [Am] say

(chorus)
[Dm//] I'm an [G//] alien [Am] I'm a legal alien
I'm an [Dm//] Englishman in [G//] New [Am] York
[Dm//] I'm an [G//] alien [Am] I'm a legal alien
I'm an [Dm//] Englishman in [G//] New [Am] York
