The Dubliners
The wild rover
hi, it's an easy song, with a few basic chords.
G C D D7





G

I've been a wild rover for many's the year
C D D7 G
and I've spent all my money on whiskey and beer.
G C
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
D D7 G C
and I never will play the wild rover no more

C
And it's no, nay, never,
D
no, nay, never, no more
D7
will I play the wild rover
G
no, never, no more

G
I went into an ale-house I used to frequent
C D D7 G
and I told the landlady my money was spent.
G C
I asked her for credit, she answered me nay,
D D7 G C
Such "a custom like yours I can have any day

C
And it's no, nay, never,
D
no, nay, never, no more
D7
will I play the wild rover
G
no, never, no more

G
I took from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
C D D7 G
and the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight.
G C
She said I'd have whiskey and wines of the best
D D7 G C
and the words that she told me were only in jest.


C
And it's no, nay, never,
D
no, nay, never, no more
D7
will I play the wild rover
G
no, never, no more

G
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done,
C D D7 G
and I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son.
G C
And when they've caressed me as oft' times before
D D7 G C
then I never will play the wild rover no more


C
And it's no, nay, never,
D
no, nay, never, no more
D7
will I play the wild rover
G
no, never, no more

C
And it's no, nay, never,
D
no, nay, never, no more
D7
will I play the wild rover
G
no, never, no more
