Rose Tattoo Dropkick Murphys
[Intro]
Am C G Am (x2)
[Verse 1]
The [Am]pictures tell the story
This [C]life had many shades
I'd [G]wake up every morning and be[Am]fore I'd start each day
I'd take a [Am]drag from last nights cigarette
That sm[C]oldered in its tray
[G]Down a little something and [Dm]then be on my way
[Link]
[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 [Am]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
[Bridge]
[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
[Cborus]
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

[Am] [C] [G] [Am]
[Verse 3]
[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
With [Dm]pride I wear it to the grave
[Bridge]
[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
[Cborus]
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
Dm [STOP]

[Am]
[Middle 8]
[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
It played again and we sang along
[Link]
(One strum per chord)
[Am] [C] [G] [Am]
[Verse 5]
(Pick up strum)
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
[Bridge] (Normal strum)
[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
[Cborus]
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

Dm [STOP]
In a rose tattoo
