Verse
F# F#7
I'm a decent boy just landed
B C#7
From the town of Ballyfad
F# B
I want a situation,
F# C#
And I want it very bad
C#7 F# F#7
I have seen employment advertised
B C#7
It's just the thing" says I
F# B
But the dirty spalpeen ended with
F# C#7 F#
No Irish Need Apply' "
F# F#7
"Whoa," says I, "that is an insult
B C#7
But to get the job I'll try"
G#7
So I went to see the blackguard
C# G#7 C#
With his "No Irish Need Apply"
C#7 F# F#7
Some do count it a misfortune
B C#7
To be christened Pat or Dan
F# B
But to me it is an honor
C# C#7 F#
To be born an Irishman
[Verse 2]
F# F#7
I started out to find the place,
B C#7
I got it mighty soon
C#7 F# F#7
There I found the old chap seated
B C#7
He was reading the Tribune
F# F#7
I told him what I came for
B C#7
When he in a rage did fly
C#7 F# F#7
"No!" he says, "You are a Paddy
B C#7
And no Irish need apply"
F# F#7
Then I gets my dander rising
B C#7
And I'd like to black his eye,
G#7
But I cooled it down and asked him why
C# G#7 C#
No Irish Need Apply
C#7 F# F#7
Some do count it a misfortune
B C#7
To be christened Pat or Dan
F# B
But to me it is an honor
C# C#7 F#
To be born an Irishman
[Verse 3]
F# F#7
And says I to him your ancestors
B C#7
came over here like me,
F# F#7
To try and make a living
B C#7
in this land of liberty
F# F#7
They were greeted here with dignity
B C#7
And taught to reep and sow,
F# F#7
By the Indians who owned this land
B C#7
They didn't tell you no,
F# F#7
But I'll get a job in spite of you
B C#7
For I'm willing heart in hand,
G#7
Thank God there's better men than you
C# G#7 C#
All over this great land.

And they say that in America
B C#7
It always is the plan
F# F#7
That an Irishman is just as good
B C#7
As any other man,
F# F#7
D# home and hospitality
B C#7
They never will deny
F# F#7
To strangers here forever say
B C#7
No Irish need apply,
F# F#7
But there's some bad apples everywhere
B C#7
D# dirty lot says I,
G#7
And a decent man may never write
C# G#7 C#
No Irish need apply.

B C#7
To be christened Pat or Dan

But to me it is an honor
