[Intro]
  G    C    G    Cx2
[Verse]
Is Gthere for honest CpoverDty
That Ghings his head an' Ca' that?
The Gcoward slave, we Cpass him Dby
We Gdare be pair for Da' that
For Ga' that, an' Ca' Dthat
Our Gtoils obscure an' Ca' that
The Grank is but the Cguinea's stamp
The Gman's the Cgowd for Da' that
[Verse]
But Gthough on hamely Cfare we Ddine
Wear Ghoddin gray an' Ca' that?
Gie Gfools their silks and Cknaves their Dwine
A Gman's a man for Da' that
For Ga' that, an' Ca' Dthat
Their Gtinsel show an' Ca' that
The Ghonest man though Ce'er sae poor
Is Gking o' Cmen for Da' thatG  C  G  C  
[Verse]
Ye Gsee yon birkie Cca'd a Dlord
Wha Gstruts an' stares an' Ca' that?
Though Ghundreds worship Cat his Dword
He's Gbut a cuif for Da' that
For Ga' that, an' Ca' Dthat
His Gribband, star, an' Ca' that
The Gman o' indeCpendent mind
He Glooks an' Claughs at Da' that
[Verse]
A Gprince can mak a Cbelted Dknight
A Gmarquis, duke, an' Ca' that
But an Ghonest man's aCboon his Dmight
Guid Gfaith, he mauna Dfa' that
For Ga' that, an' Ca' Dthat
Their Gdignities an' Ca' that
The Gpith o' sense an' Cpride o' worth
Are Ghigher Crank than Da' that
[Instrumental]
  G    C    G    Cx2
[Verse]
Then Alet us pray, that Dcome it Emay
As Acome it will for Da' that
That Asense and worth o'er Da' the Eearth
Shall Abear the gree an' Ea' that
For Aa' that, an' Da' Ethat
It's Acomin' yet for Da' that
That Aman to man the Dworld o'er
Shall Abrithers Dbe for Ea' that
