WHERE THE WILD Nick Cave
R: They [Gm]call me the wild[Cm] ro[Gm]se, but my [Bb]name is Eliza [D]Day
Why, they [Gm]call me like "I do not[Cm] kn[Gm]ow", for my name is El[F]iza [Gm]Day
1. [Gm]On the first day I saw her I knew [Bb]she was the one she [Cm]stared in my eyes
and sm[D]iled
For her [Gm]lips with the colour of the [Bb]roses, that [Cm]grew down the river
All [D]bloody and wine
When he [Gm]knocked on my door and he [Bb]entered the room th[Cm]e trembling subside
and in his [D]sure embrace
He would [Gm]be my first lad, a [Bb]worker for hand he [Cm]wiped off the tears,
that [D]run down my face
R: They [Gm]call me the wild[Cm] ro[Gm]se, but my [Bb]name is Eliza [D]Day
Why, they [Gm]call me like "I do not[Cm] kn[Gm]ow", for my name is El[F]iza [Gm]Day
2. On the [Gm]second day I brought her a [Bb]flower, she's more [Cm]beautiful
Than any [D]woman I see
I said [Gm]do you know, where the [Bb]wild roses grow, so [Cm]sweet and scarlet
and [D]free
On the [Gm]second day he came with a [Bb]single red rose, he said [Cm]give me
your loss and your [D]sorrow
I [Gm]nodded my head as I [Bb]lay on the bed, if I [Cm]show you the roses will you
[D]follow
R: They [Gm]call me the wild[Cm] ro[Gm]se, but my [Bb]name is Eliza [D]Day
Why, they [Gm]call me like "I do not[Cm] kn[Gm]ow", for my name is El[F]iza [Gm]Day
3. On the [Gm]third day he took me to the [Bb]river. he [Cm]showed me the roses
and we [D]kissed
And the [Gm]last thing I heard was a [Bb]martered word, as he [Cm]melt above me
with a [D]rock in his face
On the [Gm]last day I took her where the [Bb]wild roses grow, she [Cm]lay on the
bank, the wind [D]light as a thief
And I [Gm]kissed her good-bye, said all [Bb]beauty must die, as I [Cm]lent down
and planted a [D]rose between her tears
R: They [Gm]call me the wild[Cm] ro[Gm]se, but my [Bb]name is Eliza [D]Day
Why, they [Gm]call me like "I do not[Cm] kn[Gm]ow", for my name is El[F]iza [Gm]Day (x3)
Enjoy!
