I rem[G]ember when rock was young

Burnin' [Bm] up to the Crocodile Rock
Learning [C] fast till the weeks went past
We really [D] thought the Crocodile Rock would last, well

[Verse 3]
I [C] took from my [G7] pocket 10 [C] sovereigns [F] bright,
And the [C] landlady's [G7] eyes opened up with de-[C]light,
She [C] said, "I have whiskeys and wines of the [F] best,
And the [C] words that I [G7] told you were only in [C] jest.
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
I'll go [C] home to my [G7] parents, conf[C]ess what I've [F] done,
And I'll [C] ask them to [G7] pardon their prodigal [C] son,
And [C] if they forgive me as oft times be-[F]fore,
Then I [C] never will [G7] play the wild rover no [C] more!
|[Chorus]
|And it's [G7] no, nay, never
|[C] No, nay, never, no [F] more,
|Will I [C] play the wild [F] rover,
|No [G7] never, no [C] more [C]
|
|And it's [G7] no, nay, never
|[C] No, nay, never, no [F] more,
|[Slowing]
|Will I [C*] plaaaay the wild [F*] rover,
|No [G7*] never, no [C*] more
