Wild Rover chords
Scottish / Irish Folk
G C
I've been a wild rover for many's the year
G D G
I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
C
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
G D G
And I never will play the wild rover no more
D
And it's No, Nay, never,
G C
No, nay, never no more
G C
Will I play the wild rover,
G D G
No never no more
G C
I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent
G D G
And I told the landlady me money was spent
C
I asked her for credit, she answered me nay
G D G
Such a customer as you I can have any day

D
And it's No, Nay, never,
G C
No, nay, never no more
G C
Will I play the wild rover,
G D G
No never no more
G C
I took up from my pocket, ten sovereigns bright
G D G
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
C
She says "I have whiskeys and wines of the best
G D G
And the words that you told me were only in jest"
D
And it's No, Nay, never,
G C
No, nay, never no more
G C
Will I play the wild rover,
G D G
No never no more
G C
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
G D G
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
C
And, when they've caressed me as oft times before
G D G
I never will play the wild rover no more
D
And it's No, Nay, never,
G C
No, nay, never no more
G C
Will I play the wild rover,
G D G
No never no more
