  I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear 
Em          A                 Bm     A
  I like my toast done on the side 
Em            A            Bm                  A
  And you can hear it in my accent when I talk

I'm an Englishman in New York

  See me walking down Fifth Avenue
Em          A               Bm
  A walking cane here at my side
Em          A            Bm     A
  I take it everywhere I walk
         Em         A      Bm    A

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

D                        A
  Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
Bm                             F#
  You could end up as the only one
G                        A
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
         F#7                           Bm
At night a candle's brighter than the sun


Solo Saxo puis Percu

Couplet 4 :
-----------
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than 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
