Dubliners - Wild rover

^GI've ^Cbeen a wild rover for many a year I ^Gspent al^Cl me ^D7money on^G whiskey and beer But ^Gnow I'm ^Creturning with gold in great store And ^GI never ^Cwill ^D7play the^G wild rover no more

And i^D7t's ^Gno nay n^Cever, no nay never no more Will ^GI ^Cplay the^D7 wild ^Grover, no never, no more

I ^Gwent in ^Cto an alehouse I used to fre quent And I ^Gtold the^C land ^D7lady me ^G money was spent I ^Gasked he^Cr for credit, she answered me " Nay!" "Su^Gch cus^Ctom as ^D7 you^Grs I could have any day!"

I ^Gtook out^C of me pocket ten sovereigns bright And the ^{G C}landlady^D7's ^Geyes opened wide with de light She ^Gsaid: &q^Cuot;I have whiskeys and wines on the best! And the ^{G C}words th^D7at I ^Gtold you were only in jest!"

I'll go ^{G C}home to my parents, confess what I've done And ^Gask them^C to ^D7pardon t^Gheir prodigal son And ^Gwhen the^Cy've caressed me as oftimes be fore I ^Gnever wi^Cll ^D7play the^G wild rover no more.
