Intro: G C Em D

    G                C    D
 Is there for honest Poverty
      G         Em       C        D
 That hangs his head and a' that.
     G               C        D
 The coward slave we pass him by;
    G       Em       D
 We dare be poor for a' that!
     G            C  D
 For a' that, and a' that.
     G       G7       Em       D
 Our toils obscure and a' that.
     G               Am       A7
 The rank is but the guinea's stamp,
     Em               D
 The man's a gowd for a' that.

      G                C       D
 What though on hamely fare we dine,
      G      Em        C        D
 Wear hoddin grey, and a' that.
      G                      C            D
 Give fools their silks, and knaves their wine;
   G       Em      D
 A Man's a Man for a' that:
     G            C  D
 For a' that, and a' that,
       G      G7       Em        D
 Their tinsel show, an' a' that;
     G                Am       A7
 The honest man, tho' e'er sae poor,
    Em              D
 Is king o' men for a' that.

    G               C       D
 Ye see yon birkie, ca'd "a lord",
      G          Em          C        D
 Wha struts, an' stares, an' a' that;
      G                C      D
 Tho' hundreds worship at his word,
      G     Em       D
 He's but a coof for a' that:
     G            C  D
 For a' that, and a' that,
     G        G7       Em        D
 His ribband, star, an' a' that:
     G          Am      A7
 The man o' independent mind
    Em                  D
 He looks an' laughs at a' that.

   G                 C      D
 A prince can make a belted knight,
   G        Em        C        D
 A marquis, duke, an' a' that;
        G             C        D
 But an honest man's aboon his might,
      G         Em       D
 Gude faith, he maunna fa' that!
     G            C  D
 For a' that, and a' that,
       G     G7      Em       D
 Their dignities an' a' that;
     G                  Am       A7
 The pity o' sense, and pride o' worth,
     Em               D
 Are higher rank than a' that.

      G                C       D
 Then let us pray that come it may,
      G      Em       C        D
 (As come it will for a' that,)
      G                     C      D
 That Sense and Worth, o'er a' the earth,
       G        Em        D
 Shall bear the gree, an' a' that.
     G            C  D
 For a' that, and a' that,
      G      G7     Em        D
 It's coming yet for a' that,
      G               Am       A7
 That Man to Man, the world o'er,
       Em              D
 Shall brothers be for a' that.
