Nick Cave - Where the wild roses grow

They Call Me The Wild Rose
Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue
		

Refren:
       Am               Dm Am            C              E
  They call me the wild ro-se, though my name was Eliza Day.
           Am                    Dm Am         Am       G     Am
  Why they call me this I do not kn-ow, for my name was Eliza Day.


         Am                     C   
From the first day I saw her, I knew she was the one,
    Dm                    E
She stared in my eyes and smiled.
    Am                      C
Her lips were the colour of roses 
     Dm                     E
That grow by the river, all bloody and wild.
        Am                      C
Well he knocked on my door, and entered my home,
   Dm                    E
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace.
      Am                   C
He'll be my first man, and with a careful hand
   Dm                       E  
He wiped off the tears that ran down my face.

On the second day I brought her a flower
She's more beautiful than any woman I've seen
And I said Do you know where the wild roses grow?
So sweet and scarlet and free?
On the second day he came with a single red rose
He said give me your loss and your sorrow
And I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
If I show you the roses will you follow?

On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses, and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist 	
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
She lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
And I kissed her goodbye, said All beauty must die
And leant down and planted a rose 'tween her teeth
