     A                            D
I've been a wild rover for many a year,
         A            D        E          A 
And I've spent all me money on whisky and beer,
                                       D
And now I'm retierd with gold in great store,
      A          D             E        A
And I never will play the wild rover no more,

        E                  
And its no nay nerver,
A               D
No nay never no more,
       A             D
Will I play the wild rover,
   E        A
no never no more,


(Tempo Change)

     A                           D
Went into an ale house I used to frequent,
      A       D           E         A
And I Told my landlady me money was spent,
                                       D
She asked me for credit I answerded her "NAY!",
      A         D             E          A
"Such custom as yours I could have any a day!",


        E                  
And its no nay nerver,
A               D
No nay never no more,
       A             D
Will I play the wild rover,
   E        A
no never no more,


        A                                    D   
I'll go home to my parents confess what I've done,
         A           D            E        A
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son,
                                        D 
And when they've caressed me as oftimes before,
      A          D             E        A 
And I never will play the wild rover no more,


        E                  
And its no nay nerver,
A               D
No nay never no more,
       A             D
Will I play the wild rover,
   E        A
no never no more,

        E                  
And its no nay nerver,
A               D
No nay never no more,
       A             D
Will I play the wild rover,
   E        A
no never no more,
