Englishman in New York

I don't drink coffee;

(Em)And you can hear it in my accent when I talk:

(A)I'm an (Em)Englishman (A)in New York.

(Em)You see me walking down Fifth Avenue,

a walking cane here at my (Bm)side.

(A)I take it ev'rywhere I walk,

norance and smile.

Be your I'm an self Englishman in ter New they York.

Whoa, (Em)I'm an alien,

(Bm)I'm a legal alien.

(A)I'm an (Em)Englishman (A)in New York.

Whoa, (Em)I'm an alien,

(Bm)I'm a legal alien.

(Em)If "manners maketh man" as someone said,
