G 
    Oh it's payday, yes it's payday 
            C                  G 
I've got my paycheque from the man 
                                          E7 
Cause there's not so many jobs that I can get these days 
           A7                D 
With these marks all over my hands 
              G5                         G7 
But I'm gonna take that cheque I'm gonna head across the track 
       C                  Cm 
To the wrong side of this town 
          G5                       E7 
I'm gonna open the door, i'm gonna bask in the roar 
          A7             D      G 
Of that familiar buzzing needle sound 

            D                        G5 
Because the ink in my skin where the needle went in 
    D                G5 
How ever many years ago 
         C                         Am 
Has left marks on my arms and they say who I am 
D7                G5 
Everywhere that I go 
     D                           G5 
Some people have none, some have ones that they're ashamed of 
D                            G5 
Most people think that we're fools 
     C                            G5           E7 
Some people don't get it and some people don't care 
    C             D           G 
And some of us we have tattoos 

VERSE SAME CHORDS AS BEFORE 

Oh it's fading, yes it's fading 
Some of the things that I believed back then 
Yes the skin has started sagging and the ink has started running 
And I've got buddy tattoos with people who aren't my friends 

Oh I've even got black X's from back when I was straight edge 
So crack open a beer friends now and let's make a pledge 
If we had the luck to live our lives a second time through 
We'd be sure to get the same tattoos 

CHORUS SAME WORDS AND CHORDS 

BRIDGE/OUTRO 

          C 
We've got hearts for the lovers 
            A7 
And playing cards for the gamblers 
           Em 
Black Flag bars for the punks 
        D 
Sailing ships for the ramblers 
          C 
We've got skulls for the living 
        A7 
And the pain pays our dues 
C             D       G 
Some of us we have tattoos 
   C             D       G 
Oh some of us we have tattoos 
   C             D       G      E7 
Oh some of us we have tattoos 
    C             D       G    D    G 
Yes some of us we have tattoos
