Rose Tattoo Uke tab by Dropkick Murphys

VERSE 1
    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 night's cigarette
          C
That’s smoldering  in it's tray
G                         Am
Down a little something, 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
 
 
CHORUS
C
Some may be from showing up
G
Others are from growing up
Dm                                                            C
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
                     G
I've got your name written here
G    C      G  Am
In a rose tattoo
      Am
In a rose tattoo
       C
In a rose tattoo
                       G
I've got your name written here
G     C   G   Am
In a rose tattoo
 
 
VERSE 2
Am
This one's for the mighty sea

Mischief, gold and piracy

This ones for the man that raised me
C
Taught me sacrifice and bravery
Am
This one's for our favorite game

Black and gold, we wave the flag

This one's for my family name

With pride I wear it to the grave

VERSE 3
Dm
This one means the most to me
C
It stays here for eternity
G
A ship that always stays the course
Am
An anchor for my every choice
Dm
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
Dm
It played again and we sang along
Am
You'll always be there with me
C
Even if you're gone
G
You'll always have my love
Dm
Our memory will live on
 
REPEAT CHORUS, THEN CONTINUE

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
