Bm A G/B A7/C# ********* This part comes
again a few times
during the song !
Verse 1 :
D ( D/F# ) G
When you've hitched every highway, and rode all the rails
A (A9_A) D D/A
You're no longer afraid of the dark
D D/F# G
You get tougher than leather and harder than nails
E E7 A A_G/B_A7/C#
When you've earned all the scars on your heart
Verse 2 :
D D/F# G G/E
Hobos and heroes, bankers and bums
A G D
In some ways we're all the same
D D/F# G
We all have to pay for the deeds that we've done
A A A9 A D
And wind up just dragging those chains
Refrain :
Bm F#m G
Life paints a picture that time can't erase
Em D/F# A4_A
Sometimes it cuts like a knife
Bm F#m G
Sooner or later one way or another
Em A G/B A7/C# ( D )
We all wear the tattoos of life
Fill : | D - - | A - - | Bm - - | A G/B A7/C# | D~ | **** This is
a repeat
of the 2'nd
part of the
intro.
Verse 3 :
D D/F# G G/E
The glory in living is just running the race
A G D D/A
Not whether you win our you fail
D D/F# G
The lines like a road map will show on your face
A A A9 A D D
And your eyes tell the rest of the tale
Refrain :
Bm F#m G
Life paints a picture that time can't erase
Em D/F# A4_A
Sometimes it cuts like a knife
Bm F#m G
Sooner or later one way or another
Em A G/B A7/C# ( D )
We all wear the tattoos of life
Fill : | D - - | A - - | Bm - - | A G/B A7/C# | D |
The Tattoos of life
Fill : | D - - | A - - | Bm - - | A G/B A7/C# | D~ |
