Intro`: Bm Bm7
Em A Bm Bm7
I don't take coffee I take tea my dear
Em A Bm Bm7
I like my toast done on one side
Em A Bm Bm7
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
Em A Bm Bm7
I'm an englishman in New York
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
Em A Bm Bm7
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
Em A Bm Bm7
I'm an englishman in New York
Em A Bm Bm7
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
Em A Bm Bm7
I'm an englishman in New York
If, manners maketh man as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
Refrain
D A A7
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
Bm Bm7 F#
You could end up as the only one
G A
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
F# Bm
At night a candle's brighter than the sun
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
If, manners maketh man as someone said
Then he's the hero of the day
It takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
Be yourself no matter what they say
Refrain
