G  C

[Verse]
                            G
I've been a wild rover this many a year
G7                    C
Spent all my money on whiskey and beer
                           F
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
G                           C
Never to be a wild rover no more

[Chorus]
C
And it's no, no never
F               C
Never, never no more
F             C           Am
Never, never again will I be
       G        C
A wild rover no more

[Verse]
                     G
I went to a shanty I used to frequent
  G7                   C
I told the landlady my money was spent
                            F
I asked her for credit, she answered me 'nay'
         G                                 C
Saying, "Customers like you, I can get any day"

[Chorus]
C
And it's no, no never
F               C
Never, never no more
F             C           Am
Never, never again will I be
       G        C
A wild rover no more

[Verse]
                            G
I pulled from my pocket ten sovereigns bright
    G7                     C
The landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
                              F
Saying, "I've got whiskey and wines of the best
        G                                  C
And the words that I uttered, were only in jest"

[Chorus]
C
And it's no, no never
F               C
Never, never no more
F             C           Am
Never, never again will I be
       G        C
A wild rover no more

[Verse]
                                 G
I'll go home to my parents, tell them what I've done
  G7                          C
I hope they will pardon their prodigal son
                           F
And if they will do, as so often before
  G                                 C
I never will play the wild rover no more

[Chorus]
C
And it's no, no never
F               C
Never, never no more
F             C           Am
Never, never again will I be
       G        C
A wild rover no more

[Chorus]
C
And it's no, no never
F               C
Never, never no more
F             C           Am
Never, never again will I be
       G        C     G  C G C
A wild rover no more
