Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Where the wild roses grow

They c^Emall me the wild r^Amose^Em, But my n^Game was Eliza D^Bay Why they c^Emall me that I do not k^Amnow^Em, For my n^Emame was El^Diza ^EmDay

From the f^Emirst day I saw her I knew s^Ghe was the one She st^Amared in my eyes and sm^Biled Her l^Emips were the colour of the ro^Gses That g^Amrew down the river, All blo^Body and wild

When he kn^Emocked on my door, And ent^Gered the room My tre^Ammbling subsided in h^Bis sure embrace He would ^Embe my first man, And w^Gith a careful hand He w^Amiped up the tears, That r^Ban down my face ^B

They c^Emall me the wild r^Amose^Em, But my n^Game was Eliza D^Bay Why they c^Emall me that I do not k^Amnow^Em, For my n^Emame was El^Diza ^EmDay

On the se^Emcond day, I brought her a fl^Gower She was more bea^Amutiful, Than any wo^Bman I'd seen I s^Emaid do you know, Where the w^Gild roses grow ^Am So sweet and scarlet and f^Bree

On the se^Emcond day he came, With a si^Gngle red rose He said, G^Amive me your loss and your so^Brrow I nodd^Emed my head, As I l^Gay on the bed If I s^Amhow you the roses will you fo^Bllow alone ^B

They c^Emall me the wild r^Amose^Em, But my n^Game was Eliza D^Bay Why they c^Emall me that I do not k^Amnow^Em, For my n^Emame was El^Diza ^EmDay

On the t^Emhird day he took me to the ri^Gver He s^Amhowed me the roses, And we ki^Bssed And the l^Emast thing I heard, Was a mut^Gtered word As ^Amhe knelt above me with a r^Bock in his fist

On the l^Emast day I took her, Where the w^Gild roses grow As she ^Amlay on the bank, The wind li^Bght as a thief And I ki^Emssed her goodbye, Said All be^Gauty must die And I l^Ameant down and planted a r^Bose tween her teeth ^B

They c^Emall me the wild r^Amose^Em, But my n^Game was Eliza D^Bay Why they c^Emall me that I do not k^Amnow^Em, For my n^Emame was El^Diza ^EmDay My ^Emname was El^Diza ^EmDay, For my n^Emame was El^Diza ^EmDay
