Wild Rover [Am] - The Dubliners (ad)
[Verse 1]
I've [Am] been a wild rover for [C] many a year
And I [Am] spent all me money on [C]whiskey and [E7] beer
But [Am] now I'm returning with [C]gold in great store,
And I [Am] promise to play the wild [C] rover no [E7] more
[Chorus]
Yipie I [C]-ay Yipie I- [Am] -oh
[F] will I play the wild rover [Am] no never no more
[Verse 2]
I [Am] went to an ale house [C]I used to fre-quent,
And I [Am] told the landlady [C]me money’s all[E7] spent,
I [Am] asked her for credit, [C]she answered me "Nay...
Sure a [Am] custom like yours [C] I could get any [E7] day."
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
I [Am] took from my pocket 10 [C]sovereigns bright,
And the [Am] landlady's eyes opened [C]]wide with de-[E7]light,
She [Am] said, "I have whiskeys and [C] wines of the best,
And the [Am] words that I told you[C] were only in [E7] jest.
[Chorus]
[Verse 4]
I'll go [Am] home to my parents, [C]confess what I've done,
And I'll [Am] ask them to pardon [C] their prodigal [E7] son,
And [Am] if they forgive me [C]as oft times before,
Then I [Am] never will [C] play the wild rover no [E7] more!
[Chorus]
Yipie I [C]-ay Yipie I- [Am] -oh
[F] will I play the wild rover [Am]no never no more
[Outro]
[F] will I play the wild rover.....[Am] no never no more.......
