    Chorus 1
    They 
    call 
    me 
    The 
    Wild 
    Rose 

    But 
    my 
    name 
    was 
    Elisa 
    Day 

    Why 
    they 
    call 
    me 
    it 
    do 
    not 
    know 

    For 
    my 
    name 
    was 
    E
    lisa 
    Day 

    Verse 1
    From 
    the 
    first 
    day 
    saw 
    her 
    knew 

    she 
    was 
    the 
    one 

    She 
    stared 
    in 
    my 
    eyes 
    and 
    smiled 

    For 
    her 
    lips 
    were 
    the 
    colour 
    of 
    the 
    roses 

    That 
    grew 
    down 
    the 
    river, 
    all 
    bloody 
    and 
    wild 

    Verse 2
    When 
    he 
    knocked 
    on 
    my 
    door 

    and 
    entered 
    the 
    room 

    My 
    trembling 
    subsided 
    in 
    his 
    sure 
    embrace 

    He 
    would 
    be 
    my 
    first 
    man, 

    and 
    with 
    careful 
    hand 

    He 
    wiped 
    at 
    the 
    tears 
    that 
    ran 
    down 
    my 
    face 

    Chorus 2
    They 
    call 
    me 
    The 
    Wild 
    Rose 

    But 
    my 
    name 
    was 
    Elisa 
    Day 

    Why 
    they 
    call 
    me 
    that 
    do 
    not 
    know 

    For 
    my 
    name 
    was 
    E
    lisa 
    Day 

    Verse 3
    On 
    the 
    second 
    day 
    brought 
    her 
    flow
    er 

    She 
    was 
    more 
    beautiful 

    than 
    any 
    woman 
    I'd 
    seen 

    said, 
    "Do 
    you 
    know 

    where 
    the 
    wild 
    roses 
    grow 

    So 
    sweet 
    and 
    scarlet 
    and 
    free?" 

    Verse 4
    On 
    the 
    second 
    day 
    he 
    came 

    with 
    single 
    red 
    rose 

    He 
    said 
    "Give 
    me 
    your 
    loss 
    and 
    your 
    sorrow" 

    nodded 
    my 
    head, 
    as 
    lay 
    on 
    the 
    bed 

    "If 
    show 
    you 
    the 
    roses, 
    will 
    you 
    follow?" 

    Chorus 3
    They 
    call 
    me 
    The 
    Wild 
    Rose 

    But 
    my 
    name 
    was 
    Elisa 
    Day 

    Why 
    they 
    call 
    me 
    that 
    do 
    not 
    know

    Day 

    Verse 5
    On 
    the 
    third 
    day 
    he 
    took 
    me 
    to 
    the 
    river 

    He 
    showed 
    me 
    the 
    roses 
    and 
    we 
    kissed 

    And 
    the 
    last 
    thing 
    heard 

    was 
    muttered 
    word 

    As 
    he 
    knelt 
    above 
    me 
    with 
    rock 
    in 
    his 
    fist 

    Verse 6
    On 
    the 
    last 
    day 
    took 
    her 

    where 
    the 
    wild 
    roses 
    grow 

    And 
    she 
    lay 
    on 
    the 
    bank, 

    the 
    wind 
    light 
    as 
    thief 

    And 
    kissed 
    her 
    goodbye, 

    said, 
    "All 
    beauty 
    must 
    die" 

    And 
    lent 
    down 
    and 
    planted 

    rose 
    'tween 
    her 
    teeth 

    Chorus 4
    They 
    call 
    me 
    The 
    Wild 
    Rose

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
