he wild rover (intro) (midi)
D G
1. I`ve been a wild rover for many a year,
D A A7 D
and I spent all my money on Whisky and beer.
G
But now I`m returning with gold in great store,
D A A7 D
and I never will play the wild rover no more.
A XXX - D G
And it`s no, nay, never, no, nay, never, no more,
D G A - A7 D
will I play the wild rover, no, never, no more.
D G
2. I went down to an ale-house that I used to frequent,
D A A7 D
and I told the landlady, my money was spent.
G
I asked her for credit but she answered me, “Nay!
D A A7 D
Such custom as yours I can get any day!“ + CHORUS
A XXX - D G
And it`s no, nay, never, no, nay, never, no more,
D G A - A7 D
will I play the wild rover, no, never, no more.
D G
3. Then out of my pockets I pulled sovereigns bright,
D A A7 D
and the landlady`s eyes opened wide with delight.
G
She said, “We have Whisky and wines of the best,
D A A7 D
what I told you before, it was only in jest.“ + CHORUS
A XXX - D G
And it`s no, nay, never, no, nay, never, no more,
D G A - A7 D
will I play the wild rover, no, never, no more.
D G
4. I`ll go home to my parents, confess what I`ve done,
D A A7 D
and I`ll ask them to pardon their prodigal son.
G
And if they forgive me as often before,
D A A7 D
then I swear I will play the wild rover no more. + CHORUS
A XXX - D G
And it`s no, nay, never, no, nay, never, no more,
D G A - A7 D
will I play the wild rover, no, never, no more.
