Bb+b5 |Fmaj7
Me and my brother were talking to each other
|Cadd9 BbII |Dadd2 |
About what makes a man a man

|Bb+b5 |Fmaj7
Was it brain or brawn, the month you were born
|Cadd9 BbII|Dadd2 |D
We just couldn't understand
|D G |D D Dsus4 D
Our old man didn't like our appearance
|D G |Asus4 Ano3
He said that only women wear long hair
|Bb+b5 |Fmaj7
So me and my brother borrowed money from mother
|Cadd9 |BbII Dadd2
We knew what we had to do
|Bb+b5 |Fmaj7
We went downstairs, past the barber and gymnasium
|Cadd9 |BbII Dadd2 |D |
And got our arms tattooed
|D D |D Dsus D |
Welcome to my life, tattoo

I'm a man now, thanks to you

I expect I'll regret you
| G6/B A6sus4
But the skin graft man won't get you
|G |A5* |A5 |Bb+b5 |Fmaj7 |Cadd9 |BbII | |
You'll be there when I die tattoo
[note: A5* played as Asus4 in stage versions]
My dad beat me 'cause mine said mother
But my mother naturally liked it and beat my brother
'Cause his tattoo was of a lady in the nude
And my mother thought that was extremely rude
Welcome to my life, tattoo
We've a long time together, me and you
I expect I'll regret you
But the skin graft man won't get you
You'll be there when I die, tattoo
Now I'm older, I'm tattooed all over
My wife is tattooed, too
A rooty-toot-toot, rooty-tooty-tooty-toot
Rooty-toodle-toodle tattoo too to you
