TATTOO by The Who

Me and my brother were talking to each other
F Eb G
About what makes a man a man
Eb Bb
Was it brain or brawn, the month you were born
F Eb G
We just couldn't understand
G C G
Our old man didn't like our appearance
G C D
He said that only women wear long hair
Eb Bb
So me and my brother borrowed money from Mother
F Eb G
We knew what we had to do
Eb Bb
We went downstairs, past the barber and gymnasium
F Eb G
And got our arms tattooed
G
Welcome to my life, tattoo, I'm a man now, thanks to you

I expect I'll regret you

But the skin graft man won't get you

You'l be there when I die Tattoo ---
My dad beat me 'cause mine said "Mother"
But my mother naturally liked it and beat my brother
'Cause his tattoo was of a lady in the nude
And my mother thought that was extremely rude
G
Welcome to my life, tattoo
We've a long time together, me and you
I expect I'll regret you
But the skin graft man won't get you
You'l be there when I die Tattoo---
Now I'm older, I'm tattooed all over
My wife is tattooed too
A rooty-doot-toot, rooty-tooty-tooty-toot
Rooty-toodle-toodle tattoo too To you
