Thread Name: Alternative words for the Wild Rover??
Subject: Tune/Chords Add: WILD ROVING NO MORE
hi,

got the tune off "Holding up the sky - voices of Celtic women".

It's performed by Sylvia Barnes with Kentigern. (As usual... basic tune... left out the twiddly bits.... )Beautiful tune... much nicer than the original.

Chords are dead easy. Same the whole way through. and apart from the chorus the verses are basically the same as usual.

I've (Dm) been a wild (C)rover for (Bb)many's (Am)a (Dm) year etc........

Wild (Dm)roving I'll give(C)over,
Wild (Bb)roving (Am)I'll give (Dm)o'er,
And I ne'er shall be (C)called
Wild (Bb)rover (Am)no (Dm)more.

Slainte
