[Verse 1]
[C]A young kid stepped i[G]n from the cold
[C]And he [F]ordered up a d[G]rink[Gsus4][F]
He said don't look surprised [C]old man I'm
[Dm]older than you think[F][G][Gsus4][G]
[C]If I was the talkin' kind I cou[F]ld tell
you a thing [Gsus4]or two[F]
And since you didn't ask,
[C]let me [G]show you my tattoos
[C]

[Verse 2]
He said [F]I got this rose i[C]n Memphis
in some [G]back old alley [C]dump
Picked this [F]eagle up in Dal[C]las,
man I [Dm]sure was good and [Gsus4]drunk
[C]And you know the way I see it,[G]
if it get[F]s any worse out t[G]here[Gsus4][F]
A guy like me [G]hasn't got a prayer

[Verse 3]
[C]The old man poured some cof[G]fee
[F]He said this one's on [G]me[Gsus4]
[F]Sat down his cigarett[C]e and[Dm]
rolled up [Gsus4]his sleeve
[C]Said take a good look
here [G]my friend
[F]You see what these [Gsus4]are[G][F]
Just my ragged [C]old and jagged
or[G]dinary [C]scars
He said [F]I got this one in Par[C]is in
[G]a war 'fore you were [C]born
And this [F]one when I was [C]half your age
workin' [Dm]on my daddy's fa[Gsus4]rm[G]
[C]And you know the way I see it,[G]
son you ain't [F]seen what I've [G]seen[Gsus4][G]
[F]Cause tattoos and[G] scars are different

He said [F]I've

been here for all [C]these years
[G]And what I know is [C]this
If you [F]look and listen [C]close
A man [Dm]will show you
what [Gsus4]he is[G]
[C]You know the way I see it,[G]
you've been [F]'round but you're still [G]green[Gsus4][G]
[F]Cause tattoos and scars
[G]are different thi[C]ngs
