Wild Rover chords
Scottish / Irish Folk
G+G C majorC
I've been a wild rover for many's the year
G+G D MajorD G+G
I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
C majorC
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
G+G D MajorD G+G
And I never will play the wild rover no more
D MajorD
And it's No, Nay, never,
G+G C majorC
No, nay, never no more
G+G C majorC
Will I play the wild rover,
G+G D MajorD G+G
No never no more
G+G C majorC
I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent
G+G D MajorD G+G
And I told the landlady me money was spent
C majorC
I asked her for credit, she answered me nay
G+G D MajorD G+G
Such a customer as you I can have any day
D MajorD
And it's No, Nay, never,
G+G C majorC
No, nay, never no more
G+G C majorC
Will I play the wild rover,
G+G D MajorD G+G
No never no more
G+G C majorC
I took up from my pocket, ten sovereigns bright
G+G D MajorD G+G
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
C majorC
She says "I have whiskeys and wines of the best
G+G D MajorD G+G
And the words that you told me were only in jest"
D MajorD
And it's No, Nay, never,
G+G C majorC
No, nay, never no more
G+G C majorC
Will I play the wild rover,
G+G D MajorD G+G
No never no more
G+G C majorC
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
G+G D MajorD G+G
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
C majorC
And, when they've caressed me as oft times before
G+G D MajorD G+G
I never will play the wild rover no more
D MajorD
And it's No, Nay, never,
G+G C majorC
No, nay, never no more
G+G C majorC
Will I play the wild rover,
G+G D MajorD G+G
No never no more
