Where the wild Roses Grow

Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds

   Gm                 Cm   Gm
He called me the wild ro - se

Gm     Bb             D
But my name was Elisa Day

       Gm                      Cm   Gm
Why he called me that I do not kn - ow

Gm               F    Gm
For my name was Elisa Day

       Gm                          Bb
On the first day I saw her, I knew she was the one

     Cm                    D
She stared in my eyes and smiled

         Gm                          Bb
For her lips were the colour of the roses

       Cm                   D
Which grew by the River all bloody and wild

         Gm                     Bb
When he knocked on my door and entered the room

    Cm                   D
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace

         Gm                   Bb
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand

    Cm                      D
he wiped up the tears which ran down my face

He called me the wild rose
