The Wild Rover

[Verse 1]
G                                      C
I've been a wild rover, for many's the year
     G            D                    G
I've spent all me money on whiskey and beer
                                         C
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
      G          D                      G
And I never will play the wild rover no more

[Chorus]
         D        D7
And it's no, nay, never (clap-clap-clap-clap)
G                  C
No, nay, never, no more
       G             C
Will I play the wild rover

No, never, no more

[Verse 2]
G                                      C
I went to an ale house, I used to frequent
     G            D                    G
And I told the landlady me money was spent
                                         C
I asked her for credit, she answered my nay
        G          D                  G
Such a custom as yours I can get any day

[Chorus]
         D        D7
And it's no, nay, never (clap-clap-clap-clap)

Will I play the wild rover

No, never, no more

[Verse 3]
G                                          C
I brought from my pocket, ten souvereigns bright
     G              D                    G
And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
                                          C
She said I have whiskeys and wines of the best
        G            D                     G
And the words that I told you were only in jest

[Chorus]
         D        D7
And it's no, nay, never (clap-clap-clap-clap)
G                  C
No, nay, never, no more
       G             C
Will I play the wild rover
    G      D  G
No, never, no more

[Verse 3]
G                                             C
I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
           G            D                    G
And I'll ask that the pardon their prodigal son
                                        C
And if the caress me, as oft times before
    G          D                      G
I never will play the wild rover no more
  
[Chorus]
         D        D7
And it's no, nay, never (clap-clap-clap-clap)
G                  C
No, nay, never, no more
       G             C
Will I play the wild rover
    G      D  G
No, never, no more
