Verse 1
From the (G minor) first day I saw her I knew
(B flat major) she was the one
She (C minor) stared in my eyes and (D major) smiled
For her (G minor) lips were the colour of the (B flat major) roses
That (C minor) grew down the river, all (D major) bloody and wild
Verse 2
When he (G minor) knocked on my door
and (B flat major) entered the room
My (C minor) trembling subsided in (D major) his sure embrace
He would (G minor) be my first man,
and (B flat major) with a careful hand
He (C minor) wiped at the tears that (D major) ran down my face
Chorus 2
They (G minor) call me The Wild (C minor) Rose (G minor)
But my (B flat major) name was Elisa (D major) Day
Why they (G minor) call me that I do not (C minor) know (G minor)
For my name was E (F major) lisa Day (G minor)
Verse 3
On the (G minor) second day I brought her a flow (B flat major) er
She was more (C minor) beautiful
than any (D major) woman I'd seen
I (G minor) said, "Do you know
where the wild (B flat major) roses grow
(C minor) So sweet and scarlet and (D major) free?"
Verse 4
On the (G minor) second day he came
with a (B flat major) single red rose
He said (C minor) "Give me your loss and your (D major) sorrow"
I (G minor) nodded my head, as I (B flat major) lay on the bed
"If I (C minor) show you the roses, will you (D major) follow?"
Chorus 3
They (G minor) call me The Wild (C minor) Rose (G minor)
But my (B flat major) name was Elisa (D major) Day
Why they (G minor) call me that I do not (C minor) know (G minor)
For my name was E (F major) lisa Day (G minor)
Verse 5
(G minor) On the third day he took me to the (B flat major) river
He (C minor) showed me the roses and we (D major) kissed
And the (G minor) last thing I heard
was a (B flat major) muttered word
As (C minor) he knelt above me with a (D major) rock in his fist
Verse 6
On the (G minor) last day I took her
where the (B flat major) wild roses grow
And (C minor) she lay on the bank,
the wind (D major) light as a thief
And I (G minor) kissed her goodbye,
said, "All (B flat major) beauty must die"
And I (C minor) lent down and planted
a (D major) rose 'tween her teeth
Chorus 4
They (G minor) call me The Wild (C minor) Rose (G minor)
But my (B flat major) name was Elisa (D major) Day
Why they (G minor) call me it I do not (C minor) know (G minor)
For my name was E (F major) lisa Day (G minor)
My name was E (F major) lisa Day (G minor)
For my name was E (F major) lisa Day (G minor)
