Wild Rover Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I'v[D]e b[G]een a wild rover
for many a [C]year
And I've [G]spent all my money
[D]on whiskey and bee[G]r
And now I'm returnin' with a
golden great [C]sword
And [D]I never [G]will [D]play the wild rover no more
And it's no, nay, never
[G]No, nay, never, [D]no more[C]
Well, [G]I played a wild [D]rover[C]
No, [G]never [D]no [G]more
I went to a mail house
I used to fre[C]quent
And I told [G]the land[D]lady
Me money was spent
[G]I asked her for credit
She answered me, [C]nay
Such a cus[G]tom like [D]yours
I could have any day
And it's no, nay, never
[G]No, nay, never
[C]No, nay,
Will [G]I play the wild [C]rover
No, never[G], n[D]o more[G]
I took from me pocket ten
sovereigns' [C]bride
And [G]the landlady's [D]eyes
opened wide with their laid
[G]I have all the wishes
and the wise of the be[C]st
And [G]the words that I [D]spoke
sure were only in jest
And it's no, nay, never
No, [G]nay, never[D], no m[C]ore
Will I play [G]the wild [D]rover[C]?
No, [D]nev[G]er, [D]no more
[G]I'll go hom[D]e to par[G]ents,
confess what I've [C]done
And I'll [G]ask them to [D]pardon
their fruity girl's son
[G]And if they caress me as of times before
[C]Sure I n[G]ever will pla[D]y the
wild rover no more
And it's no, nay, never
[G]No, nay, never, [C]no more
Will [G]I play the Wild Rover[C]?
No, never[G], n[D]o more[G]
And it's [D]no, nay, never
[G]No, nay, [D]never, no [C]more
Well, I've [G]played a war [C]over
No never[G], n[D]o more[G]
