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
