The Wild Rover

1^e strofe

I've G been a wild rover, 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

Refrein

And it's D no, nay, never D7

G No, nay, never, no C more

Will I G play the wild Am rover

No, nay, D7 never, no G more

2^e strofe

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"   (Refrein)

3^e strofe

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"   (Refrein)

4^e strofe

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   (Refrein)
