1^st Verse

I've[G]been a wild rover^[1], for many a[C]year

And I've[G]spent all me[Am]money on[D7]whiskey and[G]beer

But[G]now I'm returning with gold in great[C]store

And I[G]never will[Am]play the wild[D7]rover no[G]more

Chorus: And it's[D]no, nay, never[D7 *** *]^[2]; [G]No, nay, never, no[C]more; Will I[G]play the wild[Am]rover; No, nay,[D7]never, no[G]more

2^nd Verse: I[G]went to an alehouse I used to fre[C]quent; And I[G]told the land-[Am]lady me[D7]money was[G]spent; I[G]asked her for credit, she answered my[C]"nay; Such a[G]custom as[Am]yours I can[D7]get any[G]day" (Chorus)

3^rd Verse: I[G]took from my pocket ten souvereigns[C]bright; And the[G]landlady's[Am]eyes opened[D7]wide with de[G]light; She[G]said "I have whiskeys and wines of the[C]best; And the[G]words that I[Am]told you were[D7]only in[G]jest" (Chorus)

4^th Verse: I'll go[G]home to my parents, confess what I've[C]done; And I'll[G]ask them to[Am]pardon their[D7]prodigal[G]son; And[G]if they caress me, as oftimes be[C]fore; Sure I[G]never will[Am]play the wild[D7]rover no[G]more (Chorus)
