The Wild Rover Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I've been a wild rover
for many's the [C]year
I [G]spent all me [D]money on whiskey and [G]beer
But now I'm returning with
gold in great [C]store
And I [G]never will [D]play the wild rover no [G]more
And it's [D]no, nay, never
[G]No, nay, [D]never, [G]no mor[C]e
Will I [G]play the wild [C]rover?
No, [G]never, [D]no mor[G]e
I went into a house I used to frequent
[C]And I tol[G]d the landlad[D]y
me money was [G]spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me,
[C]Nay, such a [G]custom as [D]yours
I can have any [G]day.
And it's [D]no day never,
[G]no day never no [C]more,
When I [G]play the wild [C]rover,
no [G]never [D]no [G]more.
I took off from my office,
tan summer, it's [C]bright
And the [G]landlady's [D]eyes
open wide with de[G]light
She says I have whiskeys
and wines of the [C]best
And the [G]words that you [D]told me
were only in [G]jest
And it's [D]no, nay, never
[G]No, nay, never, no [C]more
Will I [G]play the wild [C]rover?
No, [G]never, [D]no [G]more
I'll go 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've caressed me
as of times be[C]fore
Then I [G]promised to [D]play the
wild rover no [G]more
And it's [D]no day, never
[G]No day, [D]never[G], no m[C]ore
Will I [G]play the wild [C]rover
No, [G]never, [D]no mor[G]e
And [D]it's no, nay, never
[G]No, nay, never, no [C]more
Will I [G]play the wild [C]rover?
No, [G]never, [D]no more
[G]
