[Cm]
[Gm] [F]
[Gm] They call me the [G] wild
[Gm] rose
But [Bb] my name was Eliza [D] Day
[Gm] Why they call me if I do [Cm] not [Gm] know
For my name [F] was [Gm] Eliza Day
From the first day I saw her I [Bb] knew she was the one
[Cm] She stared in my [D] eyes and smiled
[Gm] Her lips were the color [Bb] of the roses
[Cm] That grew down the river [D] all bloody and [Gm] wild
When he knocked on my door [Bb] and entered the room
[Cm] My trembling subsided [D] in his showing [Gm] grace
He would be my first [Bb] man and with a careful hand
[Cm] He wiped out the [D] tears that ran down my face
[Gm] They call me the [C] wild [Gm] rose
[Bb] But my name was [D] Eliza Day
[Gm] Why they call me if I [Cm] do not [Gm] know
For my [D] name was [Gm] Eliza Day
[G] On the second day I brought [Bb] her a flower
She was more [Cm] beautiful than [D] any woman I've [Gm] seen
I said, do you know where the [Bb] wild roses grow
[Cm] So sweet and scarlet [D] and free
[Gm] On the second day he [Bb] came with a single red rose
[Cm] He said, give me your loss [D] and your sorrow
[Gm] I nodded my [Bb] head as I lay on the bed
[Cm] If I show you the roses [D] will you follow
They [Gm] call me the [Cm] wild [Gm] rose
[Bb] But my name was [D] Eliza Day
[Gm] Why they call me if I [Cm] do not [Gm] know
For my [D] name was Eliza [Gm] Day
On the third day he [Bb] took me to the river
[Cm] He showed me the roses [Dm] and we kissed
[Gm] And the last thing I [Bb] heard was a muttered word
[Cm] As he knelt above me [Dm] with a rock in his [Gm] fist
On the last day I took [Bb] her where the wild roses [Cm] grow
She lay on the bank, the [D] wind lied as a thief
And [Gm] I kissed her goodbye, [Bb] said all beauty must die
[Cm] And I leant down and [D] planted a rose between her teeth
[Gm] They call me the [Cm] wild [Gm] rose
[Bb] But my name was [D] Eliza Day
[Gm] Why they call me if I [A] do not [Gm] know
For [G] my [C] name was [Gm] Eliza Day
My [F] name was [Gm] Eliza Day
For my name was Eliza Day
[G]
