  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

  I'm a man now, thanks to you
           D              D/CI 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
