^AmThe pictures tell the story This ^Clife has many shades ^GI’d wake up every morning and b^Amefore I’d start each day I’d ^Amtake a drag from last nights cigarette That ^Csmoldered in it’s tray ^GDown a little something and t^Amhen be on my way

^AmI traveled far and wide And ^Claid this head in many ports I was ^Gguided by a compass I saw ^Ambeauty to the north ^AmI drew the tales of many lives And ^Cwore the faces of my own I ^Ghad these memories all around me So I ^Dmwouldn’t be alone

[Pre chorus]

^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 ^DmI’ve got your name written here In a ^Amrose tattoo

[Chorus]

^AmIn a rose tattoo In a ^Crose tattoo I’ve got your ^Gname written here In a ^Amrose tattoo

[Verse]

^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 ^DmWith pride I wear it to the grave

[Pre Chorus]

^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 ^Amrose tattoo

[Chorus]

^AmIn a rose tattoo In a ^Crose tattoo I’ve got your ^Gname written here In a ^Amrose tattoo In a ^Crose tattoo In a ^Grose tattoo I’ve got your ^Dmname written here In a ^Amrose tattoo

[Verse]

^FThis one means the most to me ^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 ^Gplayed again and we sang along

[Interlude] Am C G Am 2x [Bridge] (Next four lines quiet, tap on the guitar while chord is playing)

^AmYou’ll always be there with me ^CEven if you’re gone You’ll ^Galways have my love Our ^Dmmemory will live on

[Chorus]

In a ^Amrose tattoo In a ^Crose tattoo I’ve got your ^Gname written here, In a ^Amrose tattoo In a ^Amrose tattoo In a ^Crose tattoo With ^Gpride I’ll wear it to the ^Amgrave for you In a ^Crose tattoo In a ^Grose tattoo I’ve got your ^Dmname written here, In a ^Amrose tattoo In a ^Crose tattoo In a ^Grose tattoo Signed and ^Dmsealed in blood I would ^Amdie for you
