TATTOO by The Who

Eb                        Bb
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
     G            D/F#
I expect I'll regret you
          A                   D
But the skin graft man won't get you
       C               Dsus4 D  Eb Bb F Eb
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
