The wild rover - The Dubliners chords

Key: G Singer/Band: The Dubliners


Tone: [G] Fingerpicking/Strumming pattern: 3/4
[G]I've been a wild rover for many a [C]year
I [G]spent all me m[C]oney on w[D7]hiskey and b[G]eer
But [G]now I'm returning with gold in great [C]store
And [G]I never will p[C]lay the wild r[D7]over no m[G]ore
[Chorus]
And it's no nay [D7]never, no [G]nay never no [C]more
Will I p[G]lay the wild ro[C]ver, no n[D7]ever, no m[G]ore
I [G]went in to an alehouse I used to [C]frequent
And I [G]told t[C]he landlady me mo[D7]ney was sp[G]ent
I [G]asked her for credit, she answered me [C]"Nay!"
"Such [G]custom as [C]yours I could [D7]have any [G]day!"
I [G]took out of me pocket ten sovereigns [C]bright
And the lan[G]dlady's e[C]yes ope[D7]ned wide with del[G]ight
She [G]said: "I have whiskeys and wines on the [C]best!
And the wo[G]rds that I told y[C]ou were o[D7]nly in je[G]st!"
I'll [G]go home to my parents, confess what I've [C]done
And ask [G]them to pa[C]rdon their p[D7]rodigal s[G]on
And [G]when they've caressed me as oftimes [C]before
I ne[G]ver will p[C]lay the wild r[D7]over no mo[G]re.
