[Kapo]

[Refrain]
They c<am>alled me the wild <D  am>rose, but my n<C>ame was Eliza D<E>ay. <E7  E>
Why they c<am>alled me that I do not <D  am>know, for my name was El<G>iza <am>Day.

[Bridge]

[Text]
>>Refrain

On the f<am>irst day I saw her I knew s<C>he was the one.
She st<dm>ared in my eyes and sm<E>iled
For her l<am>ips were the colour of the r<C>oses
that g<dm>rew down the river all b<E>loody and wild.
When he k<am>nocked on my door and e<C>ntered the room,
my tr<dm>embling subsided in <E>his sure embrace.
He would <am>be my first man, and w<C>ith a careful hand
he w<dm>iped off the tears that r<E>an down my face.<E7  E>

Refrain

On the s<am>econd day I brought her a fl<C>ower,
she's more b<dm>eautiful than any w<E>oman I've seen.
I s<am>aid do you know, where the w<C>ild roses grow,
<dm>so sweet and scarlet and f<E>ree?
On the s<am>econd day he came with a s<C>ingle red rose,
he said g<dm>ive me your loss and your s<E>orrow.
I n<am>odded my head as I l<C>ay on the bed,
if I s<dm>how you the roses will you f<E>ollow?<E7  E>

Refrain

On the t<am>hird day he took me to the r<C>iver,
he sh<dm>owed me the roses and we k<E>issed.
And the l<am>ast thing I heard was a m<C>uttered word,
as he k<dm>nelt above me with a r<E>ock in his fist.
On the l<am>ast day I took her where the wild r<C>oses grow,
she l<dm>ay on the bank, the wind l<E>ight as a thief.
And I k<am>issed her good-bye, said all b<C>eauty must die,
as I b<dm>ent down and planted a r<E>ose between her teeth.<E7  E>
