Misc Irish - Wild Rover guitar chord

The Wild Rover

A traditional Irish song - be sure to find someone to clap at the

appropriate times (if you don't know where those are, you should

drink more Guinness.)

     G                             C

I?ve been a wild rover, for many a year

         G            D7                   G

And I?ve spend all my money on whiskey and beer

                                         C

But now I?m returning with gold in great store

      G          D7                     G

And I never will play the wild rover no more

[Chorus]

         D7                 G                          C

And it?s no, ney, never, . . . . . . no, nay, never no more

       G             C         G     D7  G

I will play the wild rover, no never no  more

[End Chorus]

                                            C

I brought up from me pocket ten souvereigns bright

        G          D7                      G

And the landlady?s eyes opened wide with delight

                                           C

She said "I have whiskey and wine?s of the best"

        G                 D7                   G

And the words that you?ve told me were only in jest

[Chorus]

                                              C

I?ll go home to my parents, confess what I?ve done

         G           D7                    G

And I?ll ask them to pardon their prodigal son

                                             C

And when they?ve caressed me, as oft times before

  G          D7                     G

I never will play the wild rover no more

[Chorus]

[Chorus]
