Sting English Man in New York

Verse:
Em A Bm
I don't drink coffee I take tea my dear
Em A Bm
I like my toast done on one side
Em A Bm
And you can hear it in my accent when I talk
Em A Bm
I'm an Englishman in New York

Verse:
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

Chorus:
Em A Bm
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
Em A Bm
I'm an Englishman in New York
Em A Bm
I'm an alien I'm a legal alien
Em A Bm
I'm an Englishman in New York

Verse:
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 (Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
D A
Modesty, propriety can lead to notoriety
Bm F#m
You could end up as the only one
G A
Gentleness, sobriety are rare in this society
A7 Bm
At night a candle's brighter than the sun

Verse:
Takes more than combat gear to make a man
Takes more than a license for a gun
Confront your enemies, avoid them when you can
A gentleman will walk but never run

Verse:
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 (Repeat Chorus then fade)

Her hair, her hair, falls perfectly without her trying
G D
She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day

D
Yeah, I know, I know when I compliment her she won't believe me

And it's so, it's so sad to think she don't see what I see

When I see your face, there's not a thing that I would change

And when you smile, the whole world stops and stares for awhile

Cause girl you're amazing, just the way you are, (yeah)

Her laugh, her laugh, she hates but I think it's so sexy

She's so beautiful, and I tell her every day

D
Oh, you know, you know, you know I'd never ask you to change
Bm
If perfect is what you're searching for, then just stay the same

The Boxer
by Paul Simon

C Am
I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told
G
I have squandered my resistance
C
For a pocketful of mumbles such are promises
Am G F C G,C
All lies and jest still a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest
C Am
When I left my home and family I was no more than a boy
G Dm7 C
In the company of strangers In the quiet of a railway station running scared
Am G F
Laying low seeking out the poorer quarters where the ragged people go
G F Em Dm C
Looking for the places only they would know
Am G Am
Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie Lie la lie
G F G C
Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie
Am G
Asking only workmans wages I come looking for a job But I get no offers
Dm7 C
Just a come-on from the whores on seventh avenue
Am Dm7 G F C
I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there
G C
Ooo-la-la la la la la

Am G Am
Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie la lie-la-lie Lie la lie
G F G C
Lie-la-lie la la la la lie la la la la lie

C G7 C Am
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes And wishing I was gone
G Dm7 G7 G C
Going home where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
Am G
Leading me Going Home
C Am
In the clearing stands a boxer and a fighter by his trade
G
And he carries the reminders
G7 C Dm7 G7 C
Of ev'ry glove that laid him down or cut him 'till he cried out
Am
In his anger and his shame
G F C
"I am Leaving, I am Leaving." But the Fighter still remains

Hello, yeah, it's been a while not much, how bout you

I'm not sure why I'd call, I guess I really just wanted to talk to you.

And I was thinkin' maybe later on,


We could get together for a while.
It's been such a long time,
And I really do miss your smile.

The stars are out, and I'd really love to see you tonight.

We could go walking through a windy park,


Or take a drive along the beach.
Or stay at home and watch t.v.
You see, it really doesn't matter much to me.

Say I love you, then say goodbye.

A HORSE WITH NO NAME
America

Em D9/6
On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

Em9 Dmaj9
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

Em D9/6
After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

Em9 Dmaj9
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

Em D9/6
After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

Em9 Dmaj9
You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

I found her diary underneath the tree and started reading about me
G G11 C/G
The words she^?d written took me by surprise; you^?d never read them in
her eyes.

She said that she had found the love she^?d waited for
C G C G
Wouldn^?t you know it? She wouldn^?t show it

Then she, confronted with the writing there, simply pretended not to
care

I passed it off as just in keeping with her total disconcerting air.
Edim7 G D7 B7 Em G7
And though she tried to hide the love that she denied

Wouldn^?t you know it? She wouldn^?t show it.

SWEET BABY JAMES by: James Taylor
D A G D
There is a young cowboy he lives on the range.
Bm G D A
His horse and his cattle are his only companion.
Bm G D A
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyon.
G D A Em A
Waiting for summer, his pastures to change.
G A D
And as the moon rises he sits by his fire.
Bm G D A
Thinkin' about women and glasses of beer.
G A D
Closing his eyes as the doggies retire
Bm G D E
He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
A E A
As if maybe someone could hear.

D G A D
CHORUS: Goodnight you moonlight ladies.
Bm G D
Rock-a-bye sweet baby James.
Bm G D D
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose.
A E A A
Won't you let me go down in my dreams.
G A D
And rock-a-bye sweet baby James.

D A G A
Now the first of December was covered with snow.
Bm G D E
And so was the turnpike from Stockridge to Boston.
Bm G D A
Lord the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting.
G D A Em A
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go.
G A D
There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway.
Bm G D A
A song that they sing when they take to the sea.
G A D
A song that they sing of they're home in the sky.
Bm G D E
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep.
A E A A
But singing works just fine for me.

D G A D
CHORUS: Goodnight you moonlight ladies.
Bm G D
Rock-a-bye sweet baby James.
Bm G D D
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose.
A E A A
Won't you let me go down in my dreams.

And rock-a-bye sweet baby James.

It's still Rock'n'Roll to me

What's the matter with the clothes I'm wearing?
Bb F
"Can't You tell that your tie's too wide?"
C E
Maybe I should bye some old tab collar?

"Welcome back to the age of jive.
Em Am
Where have you been hiddin' out lately, honey?

You can't dress trashy till you spend a lot of money"

Everybody talking 'bout the new sound.

Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me.

What's the matter with the car I'm driving?


Can't tell it's out of style?"
Should I get a set of white wall tires?
"Are you gonna cruise the miracle mile?
Nowadays you cant't be too sentimental.
Your best bet's a true baby, blue Continental."
Hot funny, cool punk even if it's old junk,
it's still rock and roll to me.

C G F
Oh it doesn't matter what they say in the papaers,
E Am
'cause it's always been the same old scene.
G F
There's a new band in town but you can't get the sound
E Ab
from a story in a magazine.
Eb F G
aimed at your average teen.

How about a pair of pink sidewinders


and a bright orange pair of pants?
"Well, you could really be a Beau Brummel baby,
if you just give it half a chance.
Don't waste your money on a new set of speakers.
You get more milage from a cheaper pair of sneakers."
Next phase, new wave, dance trace, anyways
it's still rock and roll to me.

Adlib: G,F,E,Am,G,F,E7,Ab,Eb,F,G

What's the matter with the crowd I'm seeing?


"Don't know that they're out of tough?"
Should I try to be a straight 'A' student?"
If You are, then you think too much."
"Don't you know about the new fashion, honey?
All you need are looks and a whole lota money."
It's the next phase, new wave, dance trace; anyways
it's still rock and roll to me.
Everybody's talking about the new sound.
Funny, but it's still rock and roll to me.

remember how i found you there,


alone in your electric chair
i told you dirty jokes until you smiled.
you were lonely for a man,
i said take me as i am
cause you might enjoy
some madness for a while.

now think of all the years you tried


to find some one to satisfy you
i might be as crazy as you say.
if i'm crazy then it's true,
that it's all because of you
and you wouldn't want me any other way.
