Chorus:
         Gm               Cm Gm             Bb              D
   They call me the wild rose,      But my name was Eliza Day
             Gm                    Cm Gm             Gm        F   Gm
   Why they call me that I do not know,      For my name was Eliza Day

Verse:
             Gm                         Bb
   From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
         Cm                    D
   She stared in my eyes and smiled
        Gm                           Bb
   Her lips were the colour of the roses
         Cm                          D
   That grew down the river,  All bloody and wild


             Gm                        Bb
   When he knocked on my door,  And entered the room
         Cm                  D
   My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
            Gm                      Bb
   He would be my first man,   And with a careful hand
       Cm                       D                 D
   He wiped up the tears, That ran down my face

Chorus:
         Gm               Cm Gm              Bb              D
   They call me the wild rose,       But my name was Eliza Day
             Gm                    Cm Gm           Gm        F   Gm
   Why they call me that I do not know,    For my name was Eliza Day

Verse:

            Gm                              Bb
   On the second day,     I brought her a flower
                   Cm                  D
   She was more beautiful,  Than any woman I'd seen
      Gm                           Bb
   I said do you know,  Where the wild roses grow
  Cm                         D
   So sweet and scarlet and free


            Gm                          Bb
   On the second day he came,  With a single red rose
              Cm                          D
   He said,  Give me your loss and your sorrow
         Gm                 Bb
   I nodded my head,  As I lay on the bed
         Cm                         D       D
   If I show you the roses will you follow

Chorus:
         Gm               Cm Gm             Bb              D
   They call me the wild rose,      But my name was Eliza Day
             Gm                    Cm Gm           Gm        F   Gm
   Why they call me that I do not know,    For my name was Eliza Day

Verse:
           Gm                           Bb
   On the third day he took me to the river
       Cm                            D
   He showed me the roses,  And we kissed
            Gm                           Bb
   And the last thing I heard,  Was a muttered word
      Cm                        D
   As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist


           Gm                              Bb
   On the last day I took her,  Where the wild roses grow
          Cm                           D
   As she lay on the bank,  The wind light as a thief
           Gm                            Bb
   And I kissed her goodbye,  Said all beauty must die
          Cm                       D                D
   And I leant down and planted a rose 'tween her teeth

Chorus:
         Gm               Cm Gm            Bb              D
   They call me the wild rose,     But my name was Eliza Day
             Gm                    Cm Gm           Gm        F   Gm
   Why they call me that I do not know,    For my name was Eliza Day
      Gm         F   Gm                Gm        F   Gm
   My name was Eliza Day,      For my name was Eliza Day
