    The Wild Rover Chords/Lyrics/Verse 

              G                                               C
    I’ve been a wild rover for many a year
         G                  C                D7                   G
    I spent all me money on whiskey and beer
               G                                                             C
    But now I’m returning with gold in great store
            G                    C            D7                    G
    And I never will play the wild rover no more

    The Wild Rover Chords/Lyrics/Chorus

                   D7                  G                            C
    And it’s no nay never, no nay never no more
                 G                     C              D7          G
    Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more

    The Wild Rover Chords/Lyrics/Verse 

          G                                                        C
    I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent
                G                C                 D7               G
    And I told the landlady me money was spent
            G                                                               C
    I asked her for credit, she answered me “Nay!”
                  G                C                    D7           G
    “Such custom as yours I could have any day!”

    The Wild Rover Chords/Lyrics/Chorus

                   D7                  G                            C
    And it’s no nay never, no nay never no more
                 G                     C              D7          G
    Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more

    The Wild Rover Chords/Lyrics/Verse 

         G                                                               C
    I took out of me pocket ten sovereigns bright
                      G                C                  D7               G
    And the landlady’s eyes opened wide with delight
              G                                                                   C
    She said: “I have whiskeys and wines on the best!
                       G                 C                      D7       G
    And the words that I told you were only in jest!”

    The Wild Rover Chords/Lyrics/Chorus

                   D7                  G                            C
    And it’s no nay never, no nay never no more
                 G                     C              D7          G
    Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more

    The Wild Rover Chords/Lyrics/Verse 

                   G                                                               C
    I’ll go home to my parents, confess what I’ve done
               G                     C                  D7        G
    And ask them to pardon their prodigal son
                G                                                              C
    And when they’ve caressed me as oftimes before
            G            C                     D7          G
    I never will play the wild rover no more.

    The Wild Rover Chord/Lyrics/Chorus

                   D7                  G                            C
    And it’s no nay never, no nay never no more
                 G                     C              D7          G
    Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more

                   D7                  G                            C
    And it’s no nay never, no nay never no more
                 G                     C              D7          G
    Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
