[Verse 1]
[Em]They call me the wild rose[Am],[Em]
but my [G]name was Eliza [B]Day
They call [Em]me that I do not k[Am]now,[Em]
for my name was [D]Eliza [Em]Day[Am][Em]
From the first day I saw her,
[G]no she was a whore
She [Am]stared in my eyes and [B]smiled
For [Em]her lips were the color of t[G]he rose
That [Am]grow down the road,
all [B]bloody and wild
When he [Em]knocked on my door
and [G]entered the room
A [Am]trembling subsided in [B]his sure embrace
He [Em]would be my first man,
and [G]with a careful hand
He [Am]wiped out the tears
that ran [B]down my face
They [Em]call me the wild [Am]rose[Em]
[B]But [G]my name was Elizabeth
[B]Where they cal[Em]l me that
I do not [Am]know,[Em]
for my name was [D]Eliza [Em]Day.
On the second day I brought her a [G]flower,
she was [Am]more beautiful than
any [B]woman I've seen.
I [Em]said, do you know where the [G]wild roses
grow
[Am]so sweet and scarlet and f[B]ray?
On the [Em]second they came,
with [G]a single red rose
He said, [Am]give me your loss and your [B]sorrow
I [Em]nodded my head,
as [G]I lay on the bed
If I [Am]show you the roses,
will [B]you follow along?
They [Em]call me the wild [Am]rose[Em]
But [B]my [G]name was Eliz[Am]a Da[B]y
They [Em]called me that I do not [Am]know[Em]
For my name was [D]Eliza [Em]Day
On the third day he took me to the [G]river
He [Am]showed me the roses and [B]we kissed
And the [Em]last thing I heard
was [G]a knighted word
As [Am]he knelt above me
with a [B]rock in his fist
On the last [Em]day I took her
where the [G]wild roses grow
She [Am]lay on the bank,
the wind [B]lied at her feet
And I [Em]kissed her goodbye,
said our beau[G]ty must die
An[Em]d I [Am]lay down and
planted a [B]rose
between her teeth
They [Em]call me the wild [Am]rose[Em]
But [B]my [G]name is Eliz[Am]a Day[B]
Why they [Em]call me it I do not [Am]know[Em]
For my name is [D]Eliza [Em]Day
My name was [D]Eliza [Em]Day
For my name was [D]Eliza [Em]Day you
