  \begin{verse}
    I have \[G]been a wild rover for many's a \[C]year
    And I \[D]spent all my money on whiskey and \[G]beer
    But \[G]now I'm returning with gold in great \[C]store
    And I \[G]never will play the wild \[D]rover no \[G]more
  \end{verse}

  \begin{chorus}
    And it's \[D]no, nay, never
    \[G] No, nay, never no \[C]more
    Will I \[G]play the wild \[C]rover
    No, \[D]never, no \[G]more
  \end{chorus}

  \begin{repeatedchords}
    \begin{verse}
      I went \[G]into an Ale House I used to fre\[C]quent
      And I \[D]told the landlady my money was \[G]spent
      I \[G]asked her for credit she answered me, ``\[C]Nay!''
      ``Such \[G]custom as \[D]yours, I could have any \[G]day''
    \end{verse}

    \begin{verse}
      I \[G]took from my pocket, ten sovereigns \[C]bright
      And the \[D]landlady's eyes opened wide with de\[G]light
      She \[G]said I'd have whiskey and wines of the \[C]best
      And the \[G]words that she \[D]told me were only in \[G]jest
    \end{verse}

    \begin{verse}
      I'll \[G]go home to my parents, confess what I've \[C]done
      And I'll \[D]ask them to pardon their prodigal \[G]son
      And \[G]when they've caressed me as oft' times be\[C]fore
      Then I \[G]never will \[D]play the wild rover no \[G]more
    \end{verse}
  \end{repeatedchords}
