[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
They [Em]call me the Wild [Am]Rose[Em]
But my [G]name was Eliza [B]Dane
Why [Em]they call me it, I do not [Am]know[Em]
For my name is [D]Lazur[Em]ite
The first day I saw her,
I knew she [G]was the one
She [Am]stared at my eyes [B]and smiled
For [Em]her lips were the colour of the [G]roses
They [Am]grew down the river,
all [B]bloody and wild
Then he [Em]knocked on my door,
and he [G]entered the room
My [Am]trembling subsided
when [B]he showed embrace
He [Em]would be my first man,
[G]and with a careful hand
He [Am]wiped the tears that
run [B]down my face
They call [Em]me the wild ro[G]se
[Am][Em][G][Em]
Well, my [G]name was [B]an azure dame
Why they [Em]call me it I do
not [Am]know[G][Em]
Well, my name was [D]an azure [Em]dame
On the second day, brought her a [G]flower
She was [Am]more beautiful
than any wo[B]man I'd seen
I said, [Em]do you know
[C]when the [G]wild roses grow
So [Am]sweet and scarlet [B]every day?
On the [Em]second day,
he came with a [G]cinderella rose
You [Am]said, give me a lesson, you're [B]so wrong
I [Em]nodded my head
as [C]I l[G]ay on the bed
Said, [Am]I'll show you the roses
where [B]you belong
They called [Em]me the w[G]ild
[Am]rose[Em][G][Em]
But my [G]name was Eliza [B]Tame
Why [Em]they call me it, I do not [Am]know[G][Em]
One day was a [D]nicer [Em]day
And on the third day
he took [C]me to [G]the river
He [Am]showed me the roses an[B]d we kissed
And [Em]the last thing I heard
was [C]a m[G]urdered word
As he [Am]stood smiling upon me
with a [B]raucous fist
On the [Em]last day I took her
[C]where the [G]wild roses grow
She [Am]lay on the bed,
the way the [B]ladders have been
As I [Em]kissed her goodbye,
[C]I said oh b[G]eauty must die
I [Am]lay down and planted a rose
[B]between her skin
They call [Em]me the Wild Ro[G]se
[Am][Em][G][Em]
[G]Well, my name was Eliza [B]Day
Why they [Em]call me it,
I do not [Am]know[Em][G]
[Em]Well, my name was [D]Eliz[Em]a Day
For my name [D]was Eliza [Em]Day
For my name was [D]Eliz[Em]a Day
