[Verse] Bbm C# G# Bbm - Bbm C# G# D#m        [Intro] (x2) Bbm C# G# Bbm

The pictures tell the story, this life has many shades

I'd wake up every morning and before I'd start each day

I'd take a drag from last night's cigarette

    that smoldered in its tray                       [Fill]

Down a little something and then be on my way         Bbm Bbm

I traveled far and wide and laid this head in many ports

I was guided by a compass, I saw beauty to the north

I drew the tales of many lives and wore the faces of my own

I had these memories all around me so I wouldn't be alone

[Chorus] C# G# D#m Bbm - C# G# D#m (D#m) - (Bbm C# D#m D#m>G#-Bbm)

Some may be from showing up, others are from growing up

Sometimes I was so messed up and didn't have a clue

((I ain't winning no one over, I wear it just for you/

  In a rose tattoo (x2)) - (I've got your name

     written here in a rose tattoo) x2)             [Intro]

This one's for (the mighty sea, mischief, gold and piracy/

  the man that raised me, taught me sacrifice and bravery/

  our favorite game, black and gold, we wave the flag/

  my family name, with pride, I wear it to the grave) (x4)

[Chorus] (…) (…/C# G# D#m D#m-X - Bbm) (x1~2)  [Bridge] F# C# G# Bbm

                                                   F# C# G# G#

This one means the most to me, it stays here for eternity

A ship that always stays the course,        ╔═════════════╗

    an anchor for my every choice           ║ Rose Tattoo ║

A rose that shines down from above,         ║  Dropkick   ║

    I signed and sealed these words in blood    Murphys   ║

I heard them once, sung in a song,          ╚═════════════╝

    it played again and we sang along    [Intro]

                                                    [Verse]

You'll always be there with me, even if you're gone   Bbm C#

You'll always have my love, our memory will live on   G#  D#m

[Chorus] (D#m-X X X) ((Bbm C# G# Bbm x2) - (C# G# D#m (Bbm/Bbm-X

       [Accel] X X Bbm-X X/Bbm/Bbm/Bbm/C#-G# Bbm-X X G#-Bbm) x2) x3)

(…/…/With pride, I'll wear it to the grave for you/…/

   Signed and sealed in blood, I would die for you) (x1~5)
