The wild rover
hi, it's an easy song, with a few basic chords.
[G] [C] [D] [D7]
[G]
I've been a wild rover for many's the year
[C]and I've spent[D] all my money on w[D7]hiskey and bee[G]r.
But now I'm returning with go[G]ld in great store[C]
[D]and I never wi[D7]ll play the wil[G]d rover no more[C]
And it's no, na[C]y, never,
no, nay, never,[D] no more
will I play th[D7]e wild rover
no, never, no [G]more
I went into an ale-house I us[G]ed to frequent
[C]and I told the[D] landlady my money[D7] was spent.[G]
I asked her for credit, she a[G]nswered me nay,[C]
[D]Such "a custom[D7] like yours I c[G]an have any day[C]
And it's no, n[C]ay, never,
no, nay, never,[D] no more
will I play th[D7]e wild rover
no, never, no[G] more
I took from my pocket ten sove[G]reigns bright
[C]and the landla[D]dy's eyes opened w[D7]ide with delight.[G]
She said I'd have whiskey and[G] wines of the best[C]
[D]and the words [D7]that she told m[G]e were only in j[C]est.
And it's no, n[C]ay, never,
no, nay, never,[D] no more
will I play th[D7]e wild rover
no, never, no[G] more
I'll go home to my parents, con[G]fess what I've done,
[C]and I'll ask t[D]hem to pardon thei[D7]r prodigal son.[G]
And when they've caressed me [G]as oft' times before[C]
[D]then I never w[D7]ill play the wi[G]ld rover no more[C]
And it's no, n[C]ay, never,
no, nay, never,[D] no more
will I play th[D7]e wild rover
no, never, no[G] more
And it's no, n[C]ay, never,
no, nay, never,[D] no more
will I play th[D7]e wild rover
no, never, no[G] more
