Gm Bb
From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
Cm D7
She stared in my eyes and smiled

For her lips was the color of the roses
Cm D
They grew down the river, all bloody and wild
[Elisa]
Gm Bb
When he knocked on my door and entered the room

She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
Gm Bb
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
Cm D
So sweet and scarlet and free?"
[Elisa]
Gm Bb
On the second day he came with a single red rose
Cm D7
He said: "give me your loss and your sorrow?"

If I show you the roses will you follow?

He showed me the roses and we kissed
Gm Bb
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
Cm D
As he knelt above me with a rock in his fist
[He]
Gm Bb
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
Cm D7
She lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
Gm Bb
And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die"
Cm D D
And I lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
[Elisa]
