Start Jamming...
[G] I've been a wild rover for many [C] a year
[G] And I spent [D] all me money on [G] whiskey and beer
But now I'm returning with gold in [C] great store
[G] And I [D] promise to play the wild [G] rover no more
[D] And it's no time ever
[G] No, never, [C] no more
Will [G] I play the [C] wild rover
[D] No, never, [G] no more
I went to an aisle house I [C] used to frequent
[G] And I told a [D]
landlady me money [G] so spent
I asked her for credit, she [C] answered me nay
[G] Sure a custom [D] like yours I could get [G] any [D] day
And it's no night ever
[G] No, night [C] never no more
[G] Will I play [Am] the [C] wild rover
[D] No, never, [G] no more
And from my pocket I took [C] sovereign's bride
[G] And the [D] landlady's eyes they lit up [G] with delight
She said I have whiskey and wines [C] of the best
[G] And the [D] words that I spoke sure were [G] only in chess
[D] And it's no night ever
[G]
No, night never [C] no more
Will [G] I play the [C] wild rover
[D] No, never, [G] no more
I'll go home to me parents, confess what [C] I've done
[G] And I'll ask them [D] to pardon their [G] bloody ghost son
And they'll say forgive me as last [C] time before
[G] And I promise [D] I'll play the [G] wild rover no more
[D] And it's no night ever
[G] No, night never [C] no more
[G] Will I play [C] the wild rover
[Dm] No, never, [G] no more
[D] And it's no night ever
[G] No, night [C] never no more
[G] Will I play [C] the wild rover
[Dm] No, never, [G] no more
