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