Tattoo Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
From way back in [F#m]time
A time more civil[B]ized
Nations decorate [G]the skin
To express what's with[D]in

[Verse 2]
As a part of their cul[A]ture
Like wisdom in [F#m]a book
It wasn't just [G]a fashion
It was art [D]made with passion

[Verse 3]
Today still people [F#m]say
[F#]Tattoos are [B]for scum
But why be so af[G]fraid?
For so much beauty [D]made

[Verse 4]
My skin is my [A]canvas
My body, here [F#m]it is
It's an open field [G]for joy
See this needle, it's my [D]toy

[Verse 5]
[G]It's my body, it's my life,
it's [D]my own [A]choice
[G]Tattoos as expression,
it's just a [D]different [A]voice
[G]It's my body, it's my life,
it's [D]part of [A]me
[G]Tattoos as expression,
which [D]means I'm [A]free
[D][A]

[Verse 6]
[D]
The ink which makes a [F#m]tattoo
Doesn't infect common [B]sense
It's a dignified cre[G]ation
Why call that mutila[D]tion?

[Verse 7]
My skin is just a cov[A]er
The real me, it's in[F#m]side
So if you wanna [G]judge me
Look beyond and you'll [D]see

[Verse 8]
[G]It's my body, it's my life,
it's [D]my own [A]choice
[G]Tattoos as expression,
it's just a [D]different [A]voice
[G]It's my body, it's my life,
it's [D]part [A]of me
[G]Tattoos as expression,
which [D]means [A]I'm free

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][G][B][D][A]
[G][B][D][A]

[Verse 9]
From [G]way back in [B]time,
till [D]the day of [A]today[B]
Decora[G]tion of skin,
[B]the[Bm] voic[D]e from within[A][B]

[Verse 10]
[G]It's my body, it's my life,
it's [D]my [A]own choice
[G]Tattoos as expression,
it's just a [D]differ[A]ent voice
[G]It's my body, it's my life,
it's [D]part [A]of me
[G]Tattoos as expression,
which [D]means [A]I'm free
[D]I am f[A]ree!
