Rose Tattoo Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C][G][Am]
[Am][C][G][Am]

[Verse 1]
The [Am]pictures tell the story
This [C]life has many shades
I'd [G]wake up every morning
and be[Am]fore I'd start each day
I'd take a drag from last night's cigarette
That [C]smoldered in its tray
[G]Down a little something
and [Dm]then be on my way
[Am][Am]

[Verse 2]
I [Am]traveled far and wide
And laid this [C]head in many ports
I was [G]guided by a compass
I saw [Am]beauty to the north
I drew the tales of many lives
And wore the [C]faces of my own
I had these [G]memories all around me
So I [Dm]wouldn't be alone

[Pre-chorus 1]
[C]Some may be from showing up
[G]Others are from growing up
[Dm]Sometimes I was so messed up
and [Am]didn't have a clue
I ain't [C]winning no one over
I [G]wear it just for you
I've got your [Dm]name written here
In a rose tattoo

[Chorus 1]
In a [Am]rose tattoo
In a [C]rose tattoo
I've got your [Dm]name written here
In a rose [G]tat[Am]too

[Interlude 1]
[Am][C][G][Am]

[Verse 3]
[Am]This one's for the mighty sea
[C]Mischief, gold and piracy
[G]This ones for the man that raised me
[Am]Taught me sacrifice and bravery
This one's for our favorite game
[C]Black and gold, we wave the flag
[G]This one's for my family name
With [Dm]pride I wear it to the grave

[Pre-chorus 2]
[C]Some may be from showing up
[G]Others are from growing up
[Dm]Sometimes I was so messed up
and [Am]didn't have a clue
I ain't [C]winning no one over
I [G]wear it just for you
I've got your [Dm]name written here
In a rose tattoo

[Chorus 2]
In a [Am]rose tattoo
In a [C]rose tattoo
I've got your [Dm]name written here
In a rose [G]tat[Am]too
In a [C]rose tattoo
In a [G]rose tattoo
I've got your [Dm]name written here
In a rose tattoo
[Am]

[Bridge 1]
[F]This one means the most to me
It [C]stays here for eternity
A [G]ship that always stays the course
An [Am]anchor for my every choice
A [F]rose that shines down from above
I [C]signed and sealed these words in blood
I [G]heard them once, sung in a song

[Interlude 2]
It played again and we sang along
[Am][C][G][Am]

[Verse 4]
You'll [Am]always be here with me
[C]Even if you're gone
You'll [G]always have my love
Our [Dm]memory will live on

[Pre-chorus 3]
[C]Some may be from showing up
[G]Others are from growing up
[Dm]Sometimes I was so messed up
and [Am]didn't have a clue
I ain't [C]winning no one over
I [G]wear it just for you
I've got your [Dm]name written here
In a rose tattoo
[Am][Am]

[Chorus 3]
In a [Am]rose tattoo
In a [C]rose tattoo
I've got your [G]name written here
In a [Am]rose tattoo
In a [Am]rose tattoo
In a [C]rose tattoo
With [G]pride I'll wear it to the [Am]grave for you
In a [C]rose tattoo
In a [G]rose tattoo
I've got your [Dm]name written here
In a [Am]rose tattoo
In a [C]rose tattoo
In a [G]rose tattoo
Signed and [Dm]sealed in blood

[Outro 1]
"I would die for you"
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[Am][C][G][Am]
[Am][C][G][Am]
[C]Oh, [G]oh, [Dm]oh, oh, oh, [Am]oh
[C]Oh, [G]oh, [Dm]oh[Dm]
[Am][C][G][Am]
[Am][C][G][Am]
