Intro:  Am x3 D Am C  Em  Am

Am
I have a crimson dragon tattoo
It burns on my arm like the truth
                                    D         Am
the red ink is in my skin its on my soul too
         C       Em       Am
I have a crimson dragon tattoo

Am
21 silver dollars is what it cost
Drawn by a fast left hand when I was lost
                            D         Am
I did not choose a heart, a rose or a cross
 C        Em                 Am
21 silver dollars is what it cost

Am
Sometimes it whispers my name
And tells me that this life is just a game
                               D                  Am
Whom the gods wish to destroy, first they drive insane
    C        Em          Am
Sometimes it whispers my name

Am
I have a crimson dragon tattoo
It burns on my arm like the truth
                                    D         Am
the red ink is in my skin its on my soul too
         C       Em       Am
I have a crimson dragon tattoo
         C       Em       Am
I have a crimson dragon tattoo
