They call me The Wild Rose, But my name was Elisa Day
GmCmGmGmFGm
Why they call me it I do not know, For my name was Elisa Day
M2.
GmA#
From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
CmD
She stared in my eyes and smiled
GmA#
For her lips was the color of the roses
CmD
They grew down the river, all bloody and wild
F3.
GmA#
When he knocked on my door and entered the room
CmD
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
GmA#
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
CmDD
He wiped up the tears that ran down my face

On the second day I brought her a flower
CmD
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
GmA#
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
CmD
So sweet and scarlet and free?"

GmA#
On the second day he came with a single red rose
CmD
He said: "give me your loss and your sorrow?"
GmA#
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
CmD
If I show you the roses will you follow?

GmA#
On the third day he took me to the river
CmD
He showed me the roses and we kissed
GmA#
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
CmD
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist
M9.
GmA#
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
CmD
She lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
GmA#
And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die"
CmD
And I lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
