The Wild Rover Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][G]

[Verse 1]
I've [G]been a wild rover for many a [C]year
And I've [G]spent all my [D]money
on whiskey and [G]beer
And now I'm returning with gold in great [C]store
And I [G]promise to [D]play the wild rover no [G]no

[Chorus 1]
And it's [D]no, nay, never
[G]No, nay, never, no mor[C]e
And I'll [G]play the wild [C]rover
No [D]never, no [G]more

[Verse 2]
I [G]went to an alehouse I used to fre[C]quent
And I [G]told the land[D]lady my money was [G]spent
I asked her for credit,
she answered me, [C]"Nay"
Saying, "A [G]custom like [D]yours,
I can have any [G]day"

[Chorus 2]
And it's [D]no, nay, never
[G]No, nay, never, no mor[C]e
And I'll [G]play the wild [C]rover
No [D]never, no [G]more

[Verse 3]
[G]And from my pocket I took sovereigns [C]bright
And the [G]landlady's [D]eyes
opened wide with de[G]light
She said, "I have whiskeys
and wines of the [C]best
And the [G]words that I [D]spoke to you
were only in [G]jest"

[Chorus 3]
And it's [D]no, nay, never
[G]No, nay, never, no mor[C]e
And I'll [G]play the wild [C]rover
No [D]never, no [G]more

[Verse 4]
I'll go [G]home to my parents,
confess what I've [C]done
And I'll [G]ask them to [D]pardon their prodigal [G]son
And when they have kissed me
as oft-times be[C]fore
Then I [G]promise to [D]play the wild rover no [G]more

[Chorus 4]
And it's [D]no, nay, never
[G]No, nay, never, no mor[C]e
And I'll [G]play the wild [C]rover
No [D]never, no [G]more
And it's [D]no, nay, never
[G]No, nay, never, no mor[C]e
And I'll [G]play the wild [C]rover
No [D]never, no [G]more
