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

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, tat-too

D [as above] D D

I'm a man now, thanks to you

D D/C#

I expect I'll regret you

G/B A

But the skin graft man won't get you

G Asus4 Ano3 Bb+b5 Fmaj7 Cadd9 BbII

You'l be there when I die tattoo

 

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
