The Pogues - The Wild Rover: chords

      G                            C
I've been a wild rover for many a year
    G           D                    G
I spent all me money on whiskey and beer
     G                                     C
But now I'm returning with gold in great store
       G           D                    G
And I never will play the wild rover no more

Chorus:
          D           G                 C
And it's no nay never, no nay never no more
         G            C         D         G
Will I play the wild rover, no never, no more

I went to an alehouse I used to frequent
And I told the landlady my money was spent
I asked her for credit, she answered me, "Nay
Sure a custom like yours I could get any day"

Chorus

And from my pocket I took sovereigns bright
And the landlady's eyes, they lit up with delight
She said, "I have whiskeys and wines of the best
And the words that I spoke, sure were only in jest"

Chorus

I'll go home to my parents, confess what I've done
And I'll ask them to pardon their prodigal son
And if they forgive me as oft-times before
Then I promise I'll play the wild rover no more
