[Intro 1]
[Em][Am][G]
[G][D][Em]

[Chorus 1]
They [Em]call me The Wild [Am]Rose[Em]
But my [G]name was Elisa [B]Day
Why they [Em]call me it I do not [Am]know[Em]
For my name was E[D]lisa [Em]Day

[Verse 1]
From the [Em]first day I saw her I knew
[G]she was the one
She [Am]stared in my eyes and [B]smiled
For her [Em]lips were the colour of the [G]roses
That [Am]grew down the river, all [B]bloody and wild

[Verse 2]
When he [Em]knocked on my door
and [G]entered the room
My [Am]trembling subsided in [B]his sure embrace
He would [Em]be my first man,
and [G]with a careful hand
He [Am]wiped at the tears that [B]ran down my face

[Chorus 2]
They [Em]call me The Wild [Am]Rose[Em]
But my [G]name was Elisa [B]Day
Why they [Em]call me that I do not [Am]know[Em]
For my name was E[D]lisa [Em]Day

[Verse 3]
On the [Em]second day I brought her a flow[G]er
She was more [Am]beautiful
than any [B]woman I'd seen
I [Em]said, "Do you know
where the [G]wild roses grow
[Am]So sweet and scarlet a[B]nd free?"

[Verse 4]
On the [Em]second day he came
with a [G]single red rose
He [Am]said "Give me your loss and your [B]sorrow"
I [Em]nodded my head, as I [G]lay on the bed
"If I [Am]show you the roses, will you [B]follow?"

[Chorus 3]
They [Em]call me The Wild [Am]Rose[Em]
But my [G]name was Elisa [B]Day
Why they [Em]call me that I do not [Am]know[Em]
For my name was E[D]lisa [Em]Day

[Verse 5]
[Em]On the third day he took me to the river[G]
He [Am]showed me the roses and we [B]kissed
And the [Em]last thing I heard
was a [G]muttered word
As [Am]he knelt above me with a ro[B]ck in his fist

[Verse 6]
On the [Em]last day I took her
where the [G]wild roses grow
And [Am]she lay on the bank,
the wind [B]light as a thief
And I [Em]kissed her goodbye,
said, "All [G]beauty must die"
And I [Am]lent down and planted
a [B]rose 'tween her teeth

[Chorus 4]
They [Em]call me The Wild [Am]Rose[Em]
But my [G]name was Elisa [B]Day
Why they [Em]call me it I do not [Am]know[Em]
For my name was E[D]lisa [Em]Day
My name was E[D]lisa [Em]Day
For my name was E[D]lisa [Em]Day
