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