CAPO 3rd FRET
[Chorus]
Em Am Em G B
They call me the wild rose, But my name was Eliza Day
Em Am Em Em D Em
Why they call me that I do not know, For my name was Eliza Day
[Verse]
Em G
From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
Am B
She stared in my eyes and smiled
Em G
Her lips were the colour of the roses
Am B
That grew down the river, All bloody and wild
Em G
When he knocked on my door, And entered the room
Am B
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
Em G
He would be my first man, And with a careful hand
Am B B
He wiped up the tears, That ran down my face
[Chorus]
Em Am Em G B
They call me the wild rose, But my name was Eliza Day
Em Am Em Em D Em
Why they call me that I do not know, For my name was Eliza Day
[Verse]
Em G
On the second day, I brought her a flower
Am B
She was more beautiful, Than any woman I'd seen
Em G
I said do you know, Where the wild roses grow
Am B
So sweet and scarlet and free

Em G
On the second day he came, With a single red rose
Am B
He said, Give me your loss and your sorrow
Em G
I nodded my head, As I lay on the bed
Am B B
If I show you the roses will you follow
[Chorus]
Em Am Em G B
They call me the wild rose, But my name was Eliza Day
Em Am Em Em D Em
Why they call me that I do not know, For my name was Eliza Day
[Verse]
Em G
On the third day he took me to the river
Am B
He showed me the roses, And we kissed
Em G
And the last thing I heard, Was a muttered word
Am B
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 B
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 B B
And I leant down and planted a rose 'tween her teeth
[Chorus]
Em Am Em G B
They call me the wild rose, But my name was Eliza Day
Em Am Em Em D Em
Why they call me that I do not know, For my name was Eliza Day
Em D Em Em D Em
My name was Eliza Day, For my name was Eliza Day
