They call me the wild rose, But my name was Eliza Day
EmAmEmEmDEm
Why they call me that I do not know, For my name was Eliza Day

EmG
(ON) From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one,
AmB
She stared in my eyes and smiled
EmG
Her lips were the colour of the roses,
AmB
That grew down the river, All bloody and wild
2.
EmG
(ONA) When he knocked on my door, And entered the room
AmB
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
EmG
He would be my first man, And with a careful hand
AmBB
He wiped up the tears, That ran down my face

EmG
(ON) On the second day, I brought her a flower
AmB
She was more beautiful, Than any woman I'd seen
EmGAm
I said do you know, Where the wild roses grow
B
So sweet and scarlet and free
4.
EmG
(ONA) On the second day he came, With a single red rose
AmB
He said, Give me your loss and your sorrow
EmG
I nodded my head, As I lay on the bed
AmBB
If I show you the roses will you follow

EmG
(ONA) On the third day he took me to the river
AmB
He showed me the roses, And we kissed
EmG
And the last thing I heard, Was a muttered word
AmB
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist
7.
EmG
On the last day I took her, Where the wild roses grow
AmB
As she lay on the bank, The wind light as a thief
EmG
And I kissed her goodbye, Said all beauty must die
AmBB
And I leant down and planted a rose 'tween her teeth
