	E	A
I've	been the wild rover for many a y	ear

	E	B	B7	E
	spent all my m	oney on	whiskey and bee	r

	A
but now I'm returning with gold in res	tore

	E	B	B7	E
	never I'll pla	y the wild	rover no m	ore.

	B	B7
And it's	no nay nev	er

	E	A
	no nay never no m	ore

	E	A
will I	play the wild rove	r

	B7	E
no	never no mor	e

I went to a chanty I used to frequent

Told the landlady my money was spent

I asked for her credit she answered me nay

saying: customers like you I can get any day.

	B	B7
And it's	no nay nev	er

	E	A
	no nay never no m	ore

	E	A
will I	play the wild rove	r

	B7	E
no	never no mor	e

I drew from my pocket ten sovereigns bright

The landlady's eyes opened wide in delight

saying: I have the whiskey and wine of the best

and the words that I told you were only in jest.

	B	B7
And it's	no nay nev	er

	E	A
	no nay never no m	ore

	E	A
will I	play the wild rove	r

	B7	E
no	never no mor	e

I'll go home to my parents confess what I've done

and ask them to pardon their prodigal son

and if they do as so often before

then I never Shall play the wild rover no more.

	B	B7
And it's	no nay nev	er

	E	A
	no nay never no m	ore

	E	A
will I	play the wild rove	r

	B7	E
no	never no mor	e
