[Verse 1]
[E]From the
[Am]first day I saw her I [C]knew she was the one
As [Dm]she stared in my eyes and s[E]miled
For [Am]her lips were the color of [C]roses
That [Dm]grew down the river all
[E]bloody and wild
When he [Am]knocked on my door
and [C]entered the room
[Dm]My trembling subsided in his s[E]ure embrace
He would [Am]be my first man
and [C]with a careful hand
He [Dm]wiped out the tears that
[E]ran down my face
They [Am]call me the wild [Dm]rose
[Am]But my name [C]was
Eliza
[E]Day
Why they [Am]call me that I do not [Dm]know
[Am]For my name was
[Em]Eliza
[Am]Day
On the second day I brought her [C]a flower
She was [Dm]more beautiful than
any [E]woman I've seen
I [Am]said, do you know where the [C]wild roses grow,
[Dm]so sweet and scarlet and [E]free?
On the [Am]second day he came
with [C]a single red rose
He [Dm]said, give me your loss
[E]and your sorrow
And I [Am]nodded my head as I [C]lay on the bed
If [Dm]I show you the roses, will you [E]follow?
They [Am]call me the wild [Dm]rose
[Am]But my n[C]ame was
Eliza
[E]Day
Why they [Am]call me that I do not [Dm]know
[Am]For my name was
[Em]Eliza
[Am]Day[C][Dm]
[E][Am][C][Dm]
[E]
On [Am]the third day he took me to t[C]he river
He [Dm]showed me the roses that were [E]kissed
And the [Am]last thing I heard
was [C]a moderate word
[Dm]As he knelt above me with a [E]rock in his fist
On the [Am]last day I took her where
[C]the wild roses grow
And she [Dm]lay on the bank,
the wind [E]lied as a thief
And I [Am]kissed her goodbye,
said all [C]beauty must die
And [Dm]I leaned down and planted
a [E]rose between her teeth
They [Am]call me the wild [Dm]rose
[Am]But my n[C]ame was
Eliza
[E]Day
Why they [Am]call me that I do not [Dm]know
[Am]But my name was
[Em]Eliza
[Am]Day
They call her the wild [Dm]rose,
[Am]but her [C]name was
Elisade
[E]Why the[Am]y call her that,
I [Dm]do not [Am]know, for her name was
[Em]Elisade
[Am]For my name was
[Em]Elisade
[Am]Her name was
[Em]Elisade
[Am]you
