[Bm] [Bm7]
[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
I'm an E[Em]nglishman [A]in New Y[Bm]ork[Bm7]
[Em]I'm an a[A]lien [Bm]I'm a legal [Bm7]alien
I'm an E[Em]nglishman [A]in New Y[Bm]ork[Bm7]
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
I'm an Englishman in New York
[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

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

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!
