CÊÊG Am C
Young kid stepped in from the cold and ordered up a drink
F C Dm G
He said don't look surprised old man I'm older than you think
C G Am C
If I was the talkin kind I could tell you a thing or two
F C Dm C C
And since you didn't ask let me show you my tattoos.
F C G C
I got this rose in Memphis in some back ole alley dump
F C Dm G
Picked this eagle up in Dallas man I sure was good and drunk
C G Am C
You know the way I see it if it gets any worse out there
F G C
A guy like me doesn't have a prayer
C G Am C
The old man poured some coffee and said this ones on me
F C Dm G
Set down his cigarette and rolled up his sleeve
C G Am C
Take a good look here my friend do you see what these are
F C Dm C C
Just my ragged ole & jagged old and dearest scars
F C G C
He said I got this one in Paris in a war 'fore you were born
F C Dm G
And this one when I was half your age workin on my daddys farm
C GÊAmÊC
You know the way I see it you aint seen what I've seen
F G C
cause tattoos and scars are different things
C G Am C
I've been here for all these years and what I know is this
F C Dm G
If you look and listen close a man will show you what he is
C G Am C
You know the way I see it you been around but your still green
F G C
cause tattoos and scars are different things
C G Am C
Young kid stepped in from the cold and ordered up a drink
