VERSE 1

      D5-A5        D5-A5
I got Elvis, on my elbow
    D5     A5          D5-A5
and when I flex, Elvis talks.
      D5   A5                       D5-A5
I got hula girls, on the back of my leg
        D5-A5         D5-A5
and she hulas, when I walk.


         F5     C5
Speaking cherry red
          F5       C5
Screaming electric green.
       D5-A5                      D5-A5
Purple mountain's majesty, really talk to me (talk to me babe).

(Tattoo, tattoo) so autobiographic!


VERSE 2

D5-A5
Best believe that needle will hurt you
D5-A5
best deceive these true colors that follow one of your false virtues.

         D5-A5               D5-A5
Here's a secret, to make you think
           D5-A5                      D5-A5
why is the crazy stuff we never said, poetry in ink.
         D5       A5           D5-A5
Speak in day-glow red, Explodo paint
                  D5-A5                D5-A5
purple mountain's majesty show me you, I'll show you me.

Uncle Danny, had a coal tattoo
   D5-A5                  D5-A5
He fought for the unions, some of us still do
      D5-A5                        D5-A5
On my shoulder is a number, of the chapter he was in
     D5-A5                      D5-A5
