Bb5-                  |Fmaj7 
Me and my brother were talking to each other 
     |Cadd9        BbII |Dadd2        | 
About what makes a man a man 
                       
 
      |Bb5-               |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 
 
  |Bb5-                      |Fmaj7 
So me and my brother borrowed money from mother 
  |Cadd9              |BbII   Dadd2 
We knew what we had to do 
  |Bb5-                     |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  
 
 
     |D        D        |D    Dsus4 D  | 
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    |Bb5-  |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
