Me and my brother were talking to each other

     |Cadd9        BbII |Dadd2        |

About what makes a man a man

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

   |     D              D/C#

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
