\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}
