[Gm] [Cm] [Bb] They [Gm]call me the wild [Cm]ro[Gm]se, But my [Bb]name was Eliza Day [D] Why they [Gm]call me that I do not [Cm]know [Gm]ow, For my [Gm]name was E[F]liza [Gm]Day

From the [Gm]first day I saw her I knew [Bb]she was the one She [Cm]stared in my eyes and [D]smiled Her [Gm]lips were the colour of the [Bb]roses That [Cm]grew down the river, all [D]bloody and wild

When he [Gm]knocked on my door and [Bb]entered the room My [Cm]trembling subsided in [D]his sure embrace He would [Gm]be my first man, and [Bb]with a careful hand He [Cm]wiped up the tears that [D]ran down my face [D]

They [Gm]call me the wild [Cm]ro[Gm]se, But my [Bb]name was Eliza Day [D] Why they [Gm]call me that I do not [Cm]know [Gm]ow, For my [Gm]name was E[F]liza [Gm]Day

On the [Gm]second day, I brought her a [Bb]flower She was more [Cm]beautiful than any [D]woman I’d seen I [Gm]said “Do you know where the [Bb]wild roses grow [Cm]So sweet and scarlet and [D]free”

On the [Gm]second day he came with a [Bb]single red rose He said, [Cm]“Give me your loss and your [D]sorrow” I [Gm]nodded my head as I [Bb]lay on the bed If I [Cm]show you the roses will you [D]follow alone [D]

They [Gm]call me the wild [Cm]ro[Gm]se, But my [Bb]name was Eliza Day [D] Why they [Gm]call me that I do not [Cm]know [Gm]ow, For my [Gm]name was E[F]liza [Gm]Day

On the [Gm]third day he took me to the [Bb]river He [Cm]showed me the roses, and we [D]kissed And the [Gm]last thing I heard was a [Bb]muttered word As he [Cm]knelt above me with a [D]rock in his fist

On the [Gm]last day I took her where the [Bb]wild roses grow As she [Cm]lay on the bank, the wind [D]light as a thief And I [Gm]kissed her goodbye, said “All [Bb]beauty must die” And I [Cm]leant down and planted a [D]rose tween her teeth [D]

They [Gm]call me the wild [Cm]ro[Gm]se, But my [Bb]name was Eliza Day [D] Why they [Gm]call me that I do not [Cm]know [Gm]ow, For my [Gm]name was E[F]liza [Gm]Day

My [Gm]name was E[F]liza [Gm]Day My [Gm]name was E[F]liza [Gm]Day
