Where The Wild Roses Grow
Nick Cave, Kylie Minogue
GmCmGmFGm
GmThey call me The Wild CmRoseGm
But my Bname was Elisa DDay
Why they Gmcall me it I do not CmknowGm
For my name was EFsus2lisa GmDay
GmFrom the first day I saw her I knew Bshe was the one
She Cmstared in my eyes and Dsmiled
For her Gmlips were the colour of the Broses
That Cmgrew down the river, all Dbloody and wild
When he Gmknocked on my door and Bentered the room
My Cmtrembling subsided in Dhis sure embrace
He would Gmbe my first man, and Bwith a careful hand
He Cmwiped at the tears that Dran down my face
GmThey call me The Wild CmRoseGm
But my Bname was Elisa DDay
Why they Gmcall me it I do not CmknowGm
For my name was EFsus2lisa GmDay
GmOn the second day I brought her a Bflower
She was more Cmbeautiful than any Dwoman I'd seen
I Gmsaid, "Do you know where the Bwild roses grow
CmSo sweet and scarlet and Dfree?"
On the Gmsecond day he came with a Bsingle red rose
He said "CmGive me your loss and your Dsorrow"
I Gmnodded my head, as I Blay on the bed
"If I Cmshow you the roses, will you Dfollow?"
GmThey call me The Wild CmRoseGm
But my Bname was Elisa DDay
Why they Gmcall me it I do not CmknowGm
For my name was EFsus2lisa GmDay
GmOn the third day he took me to the Briver
He Cmshowed me the roses and we Dkissed
And the Gmlast thing I heard was a Bmuttered word
As Cmhe knelt above me with a Drock in his fist
On the Gmlast day I took her where the Bwild roses grow
And she Cmlay on the bank, the wind Dlight as a thief
And I Gmkissed her goodbye, said, "All Bbeauty must die"
And I Cmlent down and planted a Drose 'tween her teeth
They Gmcall me The Wild CmRoseGm
But my Bname was Elisa DDay
Why they Gmcall me that I do not CmknowGm
For my name was EFsus2lisa GmDay
My name was EFsus2lisa GmDay
For my name was Fsus2Elisa GmDay
