The ^Ampictures tell the story This ^Clife had many shades I'd ^Gwake up every morning and be^Amfore I'd start each day I'd take a ^Amdrag from last nights cigarette That sm^Coldered in its tray ^GDown a little something and ^Dmthen be on my way

[Link] Am [Verse 2]

I ^Amtraveled far and wide And laid this ^Chead in many ports I was ^Gguided by a compass I saw ^Ambeauty to the north I drew the ^Amtales of many lives And wore the ^Cfaces of my own I had these ^Gmemories all around me So I ^Dmwouldn't be alone

[Bridge]

^CSome may be from showing up ^GOthers are from growing up ^DmSometimes I was so messed up and ^Amdidn't have a clue I ain't ^Cwinning no one over I ^Gwear it just for you I've got your ^Dmname written here

In a rose tattoo [Chorus]

In a ^Amrose tattoo In a ^Crose tattoo I've got your ^Dmname written here In a rose ^Gtat^Amtoo

[Link] Am C G Am [Verse 3]

^AmThis ones for the mighty sea ^CMischief, gold and piracy ^GThis ones for the man that raised me ^AmTaught me sacrifice and bravery ^AmThis ones for our favorite game ^CBlack and gold, we wave the flag ^GThis ones for my family name With ^Dmpride I wear it to the grave

[Bridge]

[Link] Am [Middle 8]

^FThis one means the most to me It ^Cstays here for eternity A ^Gship that always stays the course An ^Amanchor for my every choice A ^Frose that shines down from above I ^Csigned and sealed these words in blood I ^Gheard 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 ^Amalways be here with me ^CEven if you're gone You'll ^Galways have my love Our ^Dmmemory will live on
