========================== 
by Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds + Kylie Minogue 
 
        G5              C5 G5         Bb5            D5 
R: They call me the wild rose, but my name is Eliza Day 
             G5                    C5 G5                    F5   G5 
   Why, they call me like "I do not know", for my name is Eliza Day 
 

   G5                                Bb5                  C5 
1. On the first day I saw her I knew she was the one she stared in my eyes  
         D5 
   and smiled 
           G5                          Bb5          C5 
   For her lips with the colour of the roses, that grew down the river 
       D5 
   All bloody and wine 
           G5                        Bb5                 C5 
   When he knocked on my door and he entered the room the trembling subside  
              D5 
   and in his sure embrace 
            G5                 Bb5                 C5 
   He would be my first lad, a worker for hand he wiped off the tears,  
        D5 
   that run down my face 

 
        G5              C5 G5         Bb5            D5 
R: They call me the wild rose, but my name is Eliza Day 
             G5                    C5 G5                    F5   G5 
   Why, they call me like "I do not know", for my name is Eliza Day 
 

          G5                         Bb5                 C5 
2. On the second day I brought her a flower, she's more beautiful 
            D5 
   Than any woman I see 
          G5                     Bb5                  C5 
   I said do you know, where the wild roses grow, so sweet and scarlet  
       D5 
   and free 
          G5                        Bb5                       C5 
   On the second day he came with a single red rose, he said give me  
                      D5 
   your loss and your sorrow 
     G5                  Bb5                   C5 
   I nodded my head as I lay on the bed, if I show you the roses will you 
   D5 
   follow 
 
 
        G5              C5 G5         Bb5            D5 
R: They call me the wild rose, but my name is Eliza Day 
             G5                    C5 G5                    F5   G5 
   Why, they call me like "I do not know", for my name is Eliza Day 
 

          G5                          Bb5        C5 
3. On the third day he took me to the river. he showed me the roses  
          D5 
   and we kissed 
           G5                       Bb5                   C5 
   And the last thing I heard was a martered word, as he melt above me  
          D5 
   with a rock in his face 
          G5                            Bb5                   C5 
   On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow, she lay on the  
                  D5 
   bank, the wind light as a thief 
         G5                            Bb5                    C5 
   And I kissed her good-bye, said all beauty must die, as I lent down  
                 D5 
   and planted a rose between her tears 
 
 
        G5              C5 G5         Bb5            D5 
R: They call me the wild rose, but my name is Eliza Day 
             G5                    C5 G5                    F5   G5 
   Why, they call me like "I do not know", for my name is Eliza Day  (x3)
