[Chorus]
Em Am Em G B7 They call me the wild rose, But my name was Elisa Day Em Am Em Em D Em Why they call me that I do not know, For my name was Elisa Day
[Verse]
Em G From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one Am B7 She stared in my eyes and smiled Em G Her lips were the colour of the roses Am B7 That grew down the river, All bloody and wild Em G When he knocked on my door, And entered the room Am B7 My trembling subsided in his sure embrace Em G He would be my first man, And with a careful hand Am B7 B7 He wiped up the tears, That ran down my face
[Chorus]
Em Am Em G B7 They call me the wild rose, But my name was Elisa Day Em Am Em Em D Em Why they call me that I do not know, For my name was Elisa Day
[Verse]
Em G On the second day, I brought her a flower Am B7 She was more beautiful, Than any woman I'd seen Em G I said do you know, Where the wild roses grow Am B7 So sweet and scarlet and free Em G On the second day he came, With a single red rose Am B7 He said, Give me your loss and your sorrow Em G I nodded my head, As I lay on the bed Am B7 B7 If I show you the roses will you follow
[Chorus]
Em Am Em G B7 They call me the wild rose, But my name was Elisa Day Em Am Em Em D Em Why they call me that I do not know, For my name was Elisa Day
[Verse]
Em G On the third day he took me to the river Am B7 He showed me the roses, And we kissed Em G And the last thing I heard, Was a muttered word Am B7 As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist Em G On the last day I took her, Where the wild roses grow Am B7 As she lay on the bank, The wind light as a thief Em G And I kissed her goodbye, Said all beauty must die Am B7 B7 And I leant down and planted a rose 'tween her teeth
[Chorus]
Em Am Em G B7 They call me the wild rose, But my name was Elisa Day Em Am Em Em D Em Why they call me that I do not know, For my name was Elisa Day Em D Em Em D Em My name was Elisa Day, For my name was Elisa Day
