this will be a bonus track on the new album ’tape deck heart’ this hasn’t been tabbed yet and it’s quite simple so here it is - although it’s a bit sketchy at the moment , even frank himself doesn’t seem to have grasped exactly how he wants it to go yet from the handful of live versions of youtube! but you won’t go far wrong with these chords : capo 3rd fret chords used : G - 320033 C - 332010 E7 - 020100 A7 - x02020 D - xx0232 G5 - 3x0033 G7 - 3x0001 Cm - x35543 D7 - xx0212 Em - 022000 G oh it’s payday , yes it’s payday C G i’ve got my paycheque from the man E7 cause there’s not so many jobs that i can get these days A7 D with these marks all over my hands G5 G7 but i’m gonna take that cheque i’m gonna head across the track C Cm to the wrong side of this town G5 E7 i’m gonna open the door , i’m gonna bask in the roar A7 D G of that familiar buzzing needle sound D G5 because the ink in my skin where the needle went in D G5 how ever many years ago C Am has left marks on my arms and they say who i Am D7 G5 everywhere that i go D G5 some people have none , some have ones that they’re ashamed of D G5 most people think that we’re fools C G5 E7 some people don’t get it and some people don’t care C D G and some of us we have tattoos 2nd verse same chords as before oh it’s fading , yes it’s fading some of the things that i believed back then yes the skin has started sagging and the ink has started running and i’ve got buddy tattoos with people who aren’t my friends oh i’ve even got black x’s from back when i was straight edge so crack open a beer friends now and let’s make a pledge if we had the luck to live our lives a second time through we’d be sure to get the same tattoos chorus same words and chords bridge/outro C we’ve got hearts for the lovers A7 and playing cards for the gamblers Em black flag bars for the punks D sailing ships for the ramblers C we’ve got skulls for the living A7 and the pain pays our dues C D G some of us we have tattoos C D G oh some of us we have tattoos C D G E7 oh some of us we have tattoos C D G D G yes some of us we have tattoos
