WHERE THE WILD ROSES GROW
CAPO 3rd FRET
They cEmall me the wild rAmoseEm, But my nGame was Eliza DBay
Why they cEmall me that I do not kAmnowEm, For my nEmame was ElDiza EmDay
From the fEmirst day I saw her I knew sGhe was the one
She stAmared in my eyes and smBiled
Her lEmips were the colour of the roGses
That gAmrew down the river, All bloBody and wild
When he knEmocked on my door, And entGered the room
My treAmmbling subsided in hBis sure embrace
He would Embe my first man, And wGith a careful hand
He wAmiped up the tears, That rBan down my face B
They cEmall me the wild rAmoseEm, But my nGame was Eliza DBay
Why they cEmall me that I do not kAmnowEm, For my nEmame was ElDiza EmDay
On the seEmcond day, I brought her a flGower
She was more beaAmutiful, Than any woBman I'd seen
I sEmaid do you know, Where the wGild roses grow
Am So sweet and scarlet and fBree
On the seEmcond day he came, With a siGngle red rose
He said, GAmive me your loss and your soBrrow
I noddEmed my head, As I lGay on the bed
If I sAmhow you the roses will you foBllow alone B
They cEmall me the wild rAmoseEm, But my nGame was Eliza DBay
Why they cEmall me that I do not kAmnowEm, For my nEmame was ElDiza EmDay
On the tEmhird day he took me to the riGver
He sAmhowed me the roses, And we kiBssed
And the lEmast thing I heard, Was a mutGtered word
As Amhe knelt above me with a rBock in his fist
On the lEmast day I took her, Where the wGild roses grow
As she Amlay on the bank, The wind liBght as a thief
And I kiEmssed her goodbye, Said All beGauty must die
And I lAmeant down and planted a rBose tween her teeth B
They cEmall me the wild rAmoseEm, But my nGame was Eliza DBay
Why they cEmall me that I do not kAmnowEm, For my nEmame was ElDiza EmDay
My Emname was EAmliza DDay, For my Emname was EAmliza DDay
