Where The Wild Roses Grow
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
Key : Em
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
Gm | Cm | Gm 

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
A# Gm     Gm               Cm  Gm
    They call me The Wild Rose
       A#             D
But my name was Elisa Day
         Gm                   Cm  Gm
Why they call me it, I do not know
       Gm        F    Gm
For my name was Elisa Day

[Verse 1]
---------------------
         Gm                          A#
From the first day I saw her, I knew she was the one
    Cm                    D
She stared in my eyes and smiled
        Gm                          A#
For her lips were the colour of the roses
     Cm                       D
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild

[Verse 2]
---------------------
        Gm                     A#
When he knocked on my door and entered the room
   Cm                    D
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
         Gm                   A#
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
   Cm                      D
He wiped at the tears that ran down my face

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
     Gm               Cm  Gm
They call me The Wild Rose
       A#             D
But my name was Elisa Day
         Gm                   Cm  Gm
Why they call me it, I do not know
       Gm        F    Gm
For my name was Elisa Day

[Verse 3]
---------------------
       Gm                          A#
On the second day, I brought her a flower
             Cm                 D
She was more beautiful than any woman I've seen
  Gm                           A#
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
Cm                       D
So sweet and scarlet and free?"

[Verse 4]
---------------------
       Gm                         A#
On the second day, he came with a single red rose
         Cm                          D
He said, "Give me your loss and your sorrow"
  Gm                  A#
I nodded my head as I lay on the bed
     Cm                           D
If I show you the roses, will you follow?



[Verse 5]
---------------------
Gm                                  A#
On the third day, he took me to the river
   Cm                         D
He showed me the roses and we kissed
        Gm                       A#
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
   Cm                       D
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist

[Verse 6]
---------------------
       Gm                            A#
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
    Cm                        D
She lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
      Gm                             A#
And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die"
      Cm                      D
And I lent down and planted a rose between her teeth



[Outro]
---------------------
   Gm        F    Gm
My name was Elisa Day
       Gm        F    Gm
For my name was Elisa Day
