[Verse 1]
I've [C] been a wild rover for many a [F] year
And I [C] spent all me [G7] money on whiskey and [C] beer

And I [C] promise to [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]
[Verse 2]
I [C] went to an ale house I used to fre-[F]quent,
And I [C] told the land[G7]lady me money’s all [C] spent,
I [C] asked her for credit, she answered me [F] "Nay...
Sure a [C] custom like [G7] yours I could get any [C] day."
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I [C] took from my pocket 10 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]
