The Wild Rover How to play Chords Lyrics Witney Guitar Club

How to play THE WILD ROVER with on-screen chords and lyrics.

"The Wild Rover" began as a 17th-century English broadside ballad and a temperance song, but it evolved into the popular drinking song known today. The song circulated widely in print and orally throughout England, Scotland, Ireland, and Australia. While its exact origin is debated, the core story of a prodigal son returning to his hometown and deciding to give up his roving ways is consistent, though the emphasis shifted from warning against drink to celebrating it.

Formed in 2024, The 12-piece Witney Guitar Club evolved into a dynamic live act which has quickly gained popularity.
Celebrated for their rich vocal harmonies and stripped-down acoustic sound, with influences ranging from Americana to Lady GaGa, their music is a tapestry of friendship, laughter and sharing songs which appeal to an audience of all ages.
