The Wild Rover Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

AI've been a wild rover for many a Dyear

AAnd I spent all my Dmoney on E7whiskey and Abeer,

AAnd now I'm returning with gold in great Dstore

 And AI never will Dplay the E7wild rover no Amore.

Chorus

E7And it's no, nay, never,

ANo nay never no Dmore,

 Will I Aplay the wild Drover

E7No never Ano more.

I went to an ale-house I used to frequent

And I told the landlady my money was spent.

I asked her for credit, she answered me "nay

Such a custom as yours I could have any day."

chor

I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright

And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight.

She said "I have whiskey and wines of the best

And the words that I spoke sure were only in jest.

chor

I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done

And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son.

And when they caress me as ofttimes before

Sure I never will play the wild rover no more.
