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
Cand I've spentD all my money on wD7hiskey and beeGr.
But now I'm returning with goGld in great store C
Dand I never wiD7ll play the wilGd rover no more C
And it's no, naCy, never,
no, nay, never,D no more
will I play thD7e wild rover
no, never, no Gmore
I went into an ale-house I usGed to frequent
Cand I told theD landlady my moneyD7 was spent. G
I asked her for credit, she aGnswered me nay, C
DSuch "a cD7ustom like yourGs I can have anyC day
And it's no, nCay, never,
no, nay, never,D no more
will I play thD7e wild rover
no, never, noG more
I took from my pocket ten soveGreigns bright
Cand the landlaDdy's eyes opened wD7ide with delight. G
She said I'd have whiskey andG wines of the best C
Dand the words D7that she told mGe were only in jCest.
And it's no, nCay, never,
no, nay, never,D no more
will I play thD7e wild rover
no, never, noG more
I'll go home to my parents, conGfess what I've done,
Cand I'll ask tDhem to pardon theiD7r prodigal son. G
And when they've caressed me Gas oft' times beforeC
Dthen I never wD7ill play the wiGld rover no moreC
And it's no, nCay, never,
no, nay, never,D no more
will I play thD7e wild rover
no, never, noG more
And it's no, nCay, never,
no, nay, never,D no more
will I play thD7e wild rover
no, never, noG more
