Dubliners – The Wild Rover Chords

I’ve been a wild rover for many a year.
I spent all me money on whiskey and beer.
But now I’m returning with gold in great store.
And I never will play the wild rover no more.

And it’s no nay never, no nay never no more.
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more.

I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent
And I told the landlady me money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me ”Nay!”
“Such custom as yours I could have any day!”

And it’s no nay never, no nay never no more.
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more.

I took out of me pocket ten sovereigns bright
And the landlady’s eyes opened wide with delight
She said: “I have whiskeys and wines on the best!
And the words that I told you were only in jest!”

And it’s no nay never, no nay never no more.
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more.

I’ll go home to my parents, confess what I’ve done.
And ask them to pardon their prodigal son.
And when they’ve caressed me as of times before
I never will play the wild rover no more.

And it’s no nay never, no nay never no more.
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more.
And it’s no nay never, no nay never no more.
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more.
