The Beautiful South - Tattoo guitar tab

A F# Bm E

Sadness has filled a lonely place

A F# Bm E

Before that there was just a hole

A F# Bm E

At least now there's sadness on my face

A F# Bb E

My lower lip has finally found its role

So the wind and the rain and the snow

Had no particular place to go

So they thought they'd come and spend some time with me

They're better friends than you could ever be

[Chorus]

D E A

There's a tattoo, a small tattoo

D E A

Waiting there unpaid for you

D E

And if you ever bump into Unlucky

A F#m

Don't forget who broke your heart in two

D E A D

You'd better get there early, there's a million in the queue

E D A

Just waiting for the name on their tattoo

[end Chorus]

Emptiness has filled a vacant heart

Finally found a place for it to hide

An as I wander like a fool from bar to bar

Empty has become my greatest guide

And the tears and the pain and the despise

Looked at me through bankrupt eyes

They had nowhere else that they could land

So I invited them to take my bloody hand

[Chorus]

F Am E7 Am

So queuing for a tattoo and I can't decide the name

F Am E7 Am

I've been wondering night after night

F Am E7 Am

When they put that needle in me I'll scream your name in pain

F Am E7 A

And I hope he spells "you bastard" right

B-A-S-T-A-R-D, stick that needle deep in me
