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
