Chord Gitar dan Lirik Lagu Where the Wild Roses Grow Oleh Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds

They call me the wild

rose, But my name was Eliza Day
Why they call me that I do not know, For my name was Eliza Day

From the f

irst day I saw her I knew she was the one
She stared in my eyes and smiled
Her lips were the colour of the roses
That grew down the river, All bloody and wild

When he kn

ocked on my door, And entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, And with a careful hand
He wiped up the tears, That ran down my face

They c

all me the wild rose, But my name was Eliza Day
Why they call me that I do not know, For my name was Eliza Day

On the se

cond day, I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful, Than any woman I’d seen
I said do you know, Where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free

On the se

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

They c

all me the wild rose, But my name was Eliza Day
Why they call me that I do not know, For my name was Eliza Day

On the t

hird day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses, And we kissed
And the last thing I heard, Was a muttered word
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist

On the l

ast day I took her, Where the wild roses grow
As she lay on the bank, The wind light as a thief
And I kissed her goodbye, Said All beauty must die
And I leant down and planted a rose tween her teeth

They c

all me the wild rose, But my name was Eliza Day
Why they call me that I do not know, For my name was Eliza Day
My name was Eliza Day, For my name was Eliza Day
