Wild Rover (No, Nay, Never)

[Verse]
 
      E                            A
 I've been a wild rover for many a year
   E            A        B7          E
 I spent all me money on whiskey and beer
     E                                    A
 But now I'm returning with gold in great store
     E            A        B7            E
 And I never will play the wild rover no more
 
 
 [Chorus]
 
             B7           E                A      
    And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
           E             A         B7        E
    Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
 
 
 [Verse]
 
   E                                   A
 I went in to an alehouse I used to frequent
       E            A       B7        E
 And I told the landlady me money was spent
   E                                      A
 I asked her for credit, she answered me "Nay!"
       E         A             B7       E
 "Such custom as yours I could have any day!"
 
 
 [Chorus]
 
             B7           E                A      
    And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
           E             A         B7        E
    Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
 
 
 [Verse]
 
   E                                    A
 I took out of me pocket ten sovereigns bright
         E          A           B7          E
 And the landlady's eyes opened wide with delight
     E                                       A
 She said: "I have whiskeys and wines on the best!
         E            A             B7      E
 And the words that I told you were only in jest!"
 
 
 [Chorus]
 
             B7           E                A      
    And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
           E             A         B7        E
    Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
 
 
 [Verse]
 
         E                                     A
 I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
     E           A            B7       E
 And ask them to pardon their prodigal son
     E                                     A
 And when they've caressed me as oftimes before
   E          A             B7       E
 I never will play the wild rover no more.
 
 
 [Chorus]
 
             B7           E                A      
    And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
           E             A         B7        E
    Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
           B7           E                A      
    And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
           E             A         B7        E
    Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more
