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
