guitar chords lyrics
Intro: Am, C, G, Am x2
Am
The pictures tell the story
C
This life has many shades
G Am
I�d wake up every morning and before I�d start each day
Am
I�d take a drag from last nights cigarette
C
That smoldered in it�s tray
G Dm
Down a little something and then be on my way
Am
I traveled far and wide
C
And laid this head in many ports
G
I was guided by a compass
Am
I saw beauty to the north
Am
I drew the tales of many lives
C
And wore the faces of my own
G
I had these memories all around me
Dm
So I wouldn�t be alone
[Pre chorus]
C
Some may be from showing up
G
Others are from growing up
Dm Am
Sometimes I was so messed up and didn�t have a clue
C
I ain�t winning no one over
G
I wear it just for you
Dm
I�ve got your name written here
Am
In a rose tattoo
[Chorus]
Am
In a rose tattoo
C
In a rose tattoo
G
I�ve got your name written here
Am
In a rose tattoo
[Verse]
Am
This ones for the mighty sea
C
Mischief, gold and piracy
G
This ones for the man that raised me
Am
Taught me sacrifice and bravery
Am
This ones for our favorite game
C
Black and gold, we wave the flag
G
This ones for my family name
Dm
With pride I wear it to the grave
[Pre Chorus]
C
Some may be from showing up
G
Others are from growing up

Sometimes I was so messed up and didn�t have a clue

I ain't winning no one over

I wear it just for you

Am
This one means the most to me
C
Stays here for eternity
G
A ship that always stays the course
Am
An anchor for my every choice
Am
A rose that shines down from above
C
I signed and sealed these words in blood
G
I heard them once, sung in a song
G
It played again and we sang along
Am C G Am
Am
You�ll always be there with me

Even if you�re gone

You�ll always have my love

first pattern, and C, G, Dm, Am for the next �woooah�. The last thing they do is
one strum on G and one strum on Am. And there you have it, Rose Tattoo!
