Biography:
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds were formed in 1983 in West Berlin, Germany by two former members of the Australian band The Birthday Party: Nick Cave (vocals, songwriter, keyboards, harmonica) and multi-instrumentalist Mick Harvey. The duo were joined by Einstürzende Neubauten member Blixa Bargeld (guitar), Hugo Race (guitar), and former Magazine member Barry Adamson (bass, piano). Cave's then girlfriend Anita Lane was also a creative influence and occasional lyricist.

Gm Cm Gm
They call me The Wild Rose
Bb D
But my name was Elisa Day
Gm Cm Gm
Why they call me it I do not know
F Gm
For my name was Elisa Day
Gm Bb
From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
Cm D
She stared in my eyes and smiled
Gm Bb
For her lips were the color of the roses
Cm D
That grew down the river all bloody and wild
Gm Bb
When he knocked on my door and entered the room
Cm D
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
Gm Bb
He would be my first man and with a careful hand
Cm D
He wiped the tears that ran down my face
Chorus, then second verse; same as the first
On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
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 rose
Said Will you give me your loss and your sorrow
I nodded my head as I lay on the bed
He said If I show you the roses will you follow
Chorus, then final verse
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 stood smiling above me with a rock in his fist
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank the wind light as a thief
As I kissed her goodbye I said All beauty must die
And I lent down and planted a rose between her teeth
Last chorus
Gm Cm Gm

For my name was Elisa Day
F Gm
For my name was Elisa Day
