https://youtu.be/VY1MfP9WUQk
A bit diff from original is the final part.  eg "Be yourself ..." 8times and then "Oh..
Yeah.." 3times.
I think play with drums would be much better especially on the Instrumental part. I
really love it.
Pls try it.
[Intro]
Em A Bm DM7
Em A Bm DM7
[Verse]
Em          A             Bm          DM7
Don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
Em      A                 Bm   DM7
Like my toast done on one side
Em      A             Bm                 DM7
You can hear it in my accent when I talk
       Em         A      Bm
I'm an Englishman in New York
Em     A                  Bm      DM7
See me walking down Fifth Avenue
Em        A               Bm   DM7
A walking cane here at my side
Em        A          Bm     DM7
I take it everywhere I walk
       Em         A      Bm
I'm an Englishman in New York
[Chorus]
  Em        A     Bm
Oh, I'm an alien I'm a legal alien

[Verse]
Em       A              Bm          DM7
"Manners maketh man" as someone said
Em       A           Bm    DM7
He's the hero of the day
Em      A             Bm                 DM7
Takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile
       Em      A                Bm
Be yourself no matter what they say
  Em        A     Bm
Oh, I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
       Em         A      Bm
I'm an Englishman in New York

D                 A                 Bm                           F#
Modesty propriety Lead to notoriety You could end up as the only one
G                   A                    F#                                 Bm
Gentleness sobriety Rare in this society Night a candle's brighter than the sun
[Instrumental]
Em  A  Bm  DM7  Em  A  Bm  DM7  Em  A  Bm  DM7  Em  A  Bm
                                                          (Drum!!)
[Verse]
Em              A              Bm         DM7
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Em                A             Bm    DM7
Takes more than a license for a gun
Em            A         Bm                      DM7
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
Em               A              Bm
A gentleman will walk but never run
Em       A              Bm            DM7
"Manners maketh man" as someone said

Takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile

Be yourself no matter what they say
       Em         A             Bm
Be yourself no matter what they say
