Bad Tattoo Blues - is written by a friend of mine, approved this posting, and he assures me it's a true story [Intro] E [Verse 1]

^EShe wandered in when I was working the bar ^AAnd I said hey there sugar tell me how you are ^EAnd what I gotta do to call you on the t^B7elephone ^EShe said well you’re kinda cute ^AIn a Hawaiian shirt and those cowboy boots ^EBut you’re probably better off to ^B7just leave me a^Elone

[Verse 2]

^EShe had a butterfly behind one ear ^AAnd a hummingbird near here derriere ^EAnd a tramp stamp with ambiguous Chinese cha^B7racters ^EShe had a dragon disappearing up one sleeve ^AAnd I hope to God that I’m not naive ^EBut I believe on her ankle was the ^B7Virgin of Guada^Elupe

[Chorus]

^AI’m lookin’ for that girl with bad t^Eattoos That’s ^B7what I need to chase away these ^Eblues ^AI’m lookin’ for that girl with bad t^Eattoos ^B7Maybe baby that’s what I ^Alike about ^Eyou

[Verse 3]

^EOne slender leg had a unicorn ^AThere was Jesus with a crown of thorns ^EAnd a funny little moustache on the side of one ^B7finger ^EShe had kites and a cross and books and bells ^AAnd a march hare that looked like hell ^EAnd on one shoulder ^B7there was E^Elvis

[Verse 4]

^EI said “Hey, you’re like a work of art” ^AAnd she said, “Mmhmmm, maybe so, but you’re not too smart.” ^EYou push your luck you know it pushes^B7 back! ^EI told you once “leave me alone so NO ^AYou can’t call me on the telephone ^EBelieve me, you’re as charming as a ^B7heart at^Etack!”

[Chorus]
