[Ebm] I've been a wild [B] rover this [Bbm] [Ebm] many's a year
[B] And I spent all [Db] my money on whiskey [Bbm] and strong liquor
But [Abm] now for [B] the future I must [Bbm] take a [Ebm] better care
[B] In the hopes that [Db] good fortune [Ab] might [Bbm] come to my care
[Ebm] Wild roving [Gb] give [B] over Wild [Bbm] roving [Ebm] give over
[B] And I [Db] never'll be called [Abm] the wild rover [Gb] [Bbm] no more
[Ebm] I went into [Bbm] an [B] alehouse that I used [Bbm] to [Ebm] frequent
And [B] I told [Db] the landlady [Ab] all my money [Bbm] was spent
Oh [Abm] when she saw [Bb] I had no [B] money
Well she [Bbm] answered [Ebm] me nay
[B] Such a custom [Db] of yours [Abm] I can have [Gb] any [Bbm]
[Ebm] day
Wild roving [Gb] give [B] over Wild [Bbm] roving [Ebm] give over
[B] And I never'll [Db] be called the [Ab] wild [Db]
rover no [Bbm] more
I put [Ebm] my hands [Bbm] in [B] my pocket
Some [Bbm] money to [Ebm]
find
And [B] I pulled out [Db] the full of [Ab] my two [Db] hands five [Bbm] times
Oh [Ab] when she saw I [B] had money
[Ebm]
And money [F] [Gb]
galore
Oh when [B] she saw I [Db] had money
[Abm] Well she called me [Db] her [Bbm] store
Saying [Ab] I have beer [B] and whiskey
And [Ebm] the wines [Gb] are the best
[B] And the words [Db] that I told [Abm] you
They're only [Bbm] in jest

Wild roving [Gb] give [B] over Wild [Bbm] roving [Ebm] give over

And it would thatch my [B] new cottage
[Ebm] And it would buy [Fm] [Gb] me a bairn
And [B] it would buy [Db] me a grey coat to keep my [Bbm] back warm
