[Verse 1]
 
Bbadd+11               Fmaj7
Me and my brother were talking to each other
      Cadd9        Bb    Dsus2
About what makes a man a man
       Bbadd+11            Fmaj7
Was it brain or brawn, the month you were born
   Cadd9         Bb   Dsus2   D
We just couldn't understand
    D              G         D        D Dsus4 D
Our old man didn't like our appearance
             D          G         Asus4
He said that only women wear long hair
 Bbadd+11                   Fmaj7
So me and my brother borrowed money from mother
   Cadd9               Bb    Dsus2
We knew what we had to do
   Bbadd+11                  Fmaj7
We went downstairs, past the barber and gymnasium
    Cadd9           Bb  Dsus2 D
And got our arms tattooed
 
[Chorus]
D             D        D     Dsus4 D
Welcome to my life, tattoo
      D        D         D    Dsus4 D
I'm a man now, thanks to you
         D
I expect I'll regret you
                   G             Asus4
But the skin graft man won't get you
       G               A         Bb+b5 Fmaj7 Cadd9 Bb
You'll be there when I die       tattoo
 
[Verse 2]
Bbadd+11               Fmaj7
My dad beat me 'cause mine said mother
       Cadd9                         Bb           Dsus2
But my mother naturally liked it and beat my brother
       Bbadd+11            Fmaj7
'Cause his tattoo was of a lady in the nude
       Cadd9                   Bb            Dsus2
And my mother thought that was extremely rude
 
[Chorus]
D                   D  Dsus4 D
Welcome to my life, tattoo
D                          D Dsus4 D
We've a long time together, me and you
         D
I expect I'll regret you
                   G              Asus4
But the skin graft man won't get you
       G                A       Bb+b5 |Fmaj7 |Cadd9 |Bb
You'll be there when I die,    tattoo
 
[Verse 3]
Bbadd+11            Fmaj7
Now I'm older, I'm tattooed all over
   Cadd9            Bb      Dsus2
My wife is tattooed, too
  Bbadd+11         Fmaj7
A rooty-toot-toot, rooty-tooty-tooty-toot
  Cadd9              Bb       Dsus2
Rooty-toodle-toodle tattoo too to you
