[Em]I don't drink c[A]offee I take [Bm]tea my dear[Bm7]
[Em]I like my t[A]oast done on the [Bm]side[Bm7]
[Em]And you can h[A]ear it in my [Bm]accent when I [Bm7]talk
I'm an E[Em]nglishman [A]in New Y[Bm]ork[Bm7]

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]I'm an a[A]lien   [Bm]I'm a legal [Bm7]alien

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]Modesty, propriety can l[A]ead to not[A7]oriety
[Bm]You could end[Bm7] up as the only [F#]one
G[G]entleness, sobriety are r[A]are in this society
At [Gdim]night a candle's brighter than the [Bm]sun

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

I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien
I'm an Englishman in New York
I'm an alien   I'm a legal alien

It's Probably Me - Sting




It's Probably Me  -  Sting  from "Ten Summoner's Tales" album
                     Transcription: Luis Ferreira

Intro:  Emmaj9  Em6add9


                   Emmaj9                     Em6add9
If the night turned cold and the stars looked down
                 Em7add9          Em6add9
And you hugh yourself on the cold cold ground
              Am7                     Bm7
You wake the morning in a stranger's coat
                 Em   Emadd9  Em
No one would you see


            Am7                   Bm7
You ask yourself, who'd watch for me
         Em                  Em/C#
My only friend, who could it be
             C
It's hard to say it
          B7                         Emmaj7  Em6
I hate to say it, but it's probably me


When your belly's empty and the hunger's so real
And you're too proud to beg and too dumb to steal
You search the city for your only friend
No one would you see


You ask yourself, who could it be
A solitary voice to speak out and set you free
I hate to say it
I hate to say it, but it's probably me


       Am7                      D
You're not the easiest person I ever got to know
         Gadd9                        G       Am7  Em  D  Am7
And it's hard for us both to let our feelings show
                  Bm7
Some would say I should let you go your way
            Gadd9        G
You'll only make me cry


               Am7    Bm7    Gmaj9
If there's one guy, just one guy
      Em                            Em/C#
Who'd lay down his life for you and die
              C
It's hard to say it
             B7                        Emmaj7  Em6  Emmaj7  Em6
It's hard to say it, but it's probably me


When the world's gone crazy and it makes no sense
There's only one voice that comes to your defense
The jury's out and your eyes search the room
And one friendly face is all you need to see


               Am7    Bm7    Gmaj9
If there's one guy, just one guy
      Em                            Em/C#
Who'd lay down his life for you and die
              C
It's hard to say it
           B7                       Am7  A7
I hate to say it, but it's probably me


           C
I hate to say it
           B7                       Am7  A7
I hate to say it, but it's probably me

Fragile - Sting






EmEm7Am7
  If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
B7 Baug Em
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Em7Am7
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
B7Em
But something in our minds will always stay
Em7
Perhaps this final act was meant
Am7
To clinch a lifetime's argument
B7 Baug
That nothing comes from violence
Em
and nothing ever could
Em7Am7
For all those born beneath an angry star
B7 B4+7 Baug Em
Lest we forget how fragile we are
Am/Cbass Baug
On and on the rain will fall
Em
Like tears from a star
Like tears from a star
Am/Cbass B4+7 Baug
On and on the rain will say
Em
How fragile we are
How fragile we are

Why should Sting's Ticket Price Sting Us?

One of the best artists in the world is now coming to Jakarta, again after years ago. STING! Yes, he stings us, he stings you around the globe. He will perform on 15.12.12 in Jakarta. But very sad to say that's the ticket price is so expensive. My pocket can buy it, but it is far too expensive for my mind. For those who cannot afford it or don't want to spend a lot of money, just stay calm in your bed and relax to watch how sting has stung the audiences in Berlin 2 years ago. ENjoy it folks!

For those who want to complain more, look at this following ads!

ANOTHER CLOWN - LEON HAINES band




since the day i crossed your way
you've been hardly out off my mind
you became the light of day
and the guiding star at night
but when i'm holding you
you still waiting for a call
you can change the color of a rainbow
you just want them all

the way you treat me isn't fair
so you can call on me
and now i hold you in my arms
but i can see you count the score
and then you let me be
another clown behind your curtain
you let me down but one thing certain
you just rely on all your magic charms

am i right or am i wrong
doesn't matter much to me
i only know it wont be long
they all gonna see
one day i rode alone
everyones is gone away
you can pick up the phone and call me
i'll be on my way

the way you treat me  isn't fair
so you can call on me
and now i hold you in my arms
but i can see  you count the score
rather then you let me be
another clown behind your curtain
you let me down but one thing certain
you just rely on all your magic charms

since the day i crossed your way
you've been hardly out off my mind
you became the light of day
and the guiding star at night
but when i'm holding you
you still waiting for a call
you can change the color of a rainbow
do you want them all

the way you treat me  isn't fair
so you can call on me
and now i hold you in my arms
but i can see  you count the score
rather then you let me be
another clown behind your curtain
you let me down but one thing certain
you just rely on all your magic charms
(2x)

the band had only one more song to play.

a little girl alone and so shy.

Thought the love we had was goin' strong, 
Dm                       G        C
through the good and bad we'd get along.

And then the flame of love died in your eyes,  
   Dm                           G            C
my heart was broken in two when you said goodbye.



CHORUS:

It's all over now, nothing left to say,

G            A#7    Am7        D7  
Our day will come...if we just wait awhile. 
G            A#7  Am7            D7          
No tears for us...think love and wear a smile.

Our dreams have magic because  
G7    Cm7              Cm6  
We'll always stay...in love this way.  
G   Em  Am7  D7    G  Dm  Am7  D7  
Our day......will..come.  
   
REPEAT#3. 

-------------note on the song------------
Lagu ini pertama kali saya dengar sekitar tahun 1985 tatkala menjadi pengiring musik talempong untuk tari pasambahan kelompok UKM (Unit Kesenian Minang) ITB. Kalau tidak salah tampil di sebuah hotel disekitar arah jalan Pajajaran. Dimainkan oleh organ tunggal plus penyanyi namun dilengkapi juga oleh saxophone yang dimainkan dengan cantik oleh pemusik yang gagah berumur sekitar 45 tahun waktu itu. What a memory....sejak itu lagu ini menjadi favorite saya.
Selamat menikmati.
