Tuning:E A D G B E

Time 6/8
[Chorus]
Gm Cm Gm
They call me The Wild Ro-se
Bb D7
But my name was Elisa Day
Gm Cm Gm
Why they call me it I do not know
Gm F Gm
For my name was Elisa Day
[Jussi]
Gm Bb
From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
Cm D7
She stared in my eyes and smiled
Gm Bb
For her lips was the color of the roses
Cm D
They grew down the river, all bloody and wild
[Satu]
Gm Bb
When he knocked on my door and entered the room
Cm D7
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
Gm Bb
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
Cm D D
He wiped up the tears that ran down my face
[Chorus]

They call me The Wild Ro-se

But my name was Elisa Day

Why they call me it I do not know
Gm F Gm
For my name was Elisa Day
[Satu]
Gm Bb
On the third day he took me to the river
Cm D7
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
[Jussi]
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
[Outro]
Gm Cm Gm
They call me The Wild Ro-se
Bb D
But my name was Elisa Day
Gm Cm Gm
Why they call me it I do not know
Gm F Gm
For my name was Elisa Day
Gm F Gm
For my name was Elisa Day
Gm F Gm
For my name was Elisa Day
