Billy Clifford - Bad Tattoo Blues(Keyboard chords)

	        
Intro: E 

verse 1 
E 
She wandered in when I was working the bar 
A 
And I said hey there sugar tell me how you are 
E                                       B7 
And what I gotta do to call you on the telephone 
E 
She said well you’re kinda cute 
A 
In a Hawaiian shirt and those cowboy boots 
E                                 B7             E 
But you’re probably better off to just leave me alone 

verse 2 
E 
She had a butterfly behind one ear 
A 
And a hummingbird near here derriere 
E                                           B7 
And a tramp stamp with ambiguous Chinese characters 
E 
She had a dragon disappearing up one sleeve 
A 
And I hope to God that I’m not naive 
E                                  B7             E 
But I believe on her ankle was the Virgin of Guadalupe 

 
A                                   E 
I’m lookin’ for that girl with bad tattoos 
       B7                              E 
That’s what I need to chase away these blues 
A                                   E 
I’m lookin’ for that girl with bad tattoos 
B7                       A          E 
Maybe baby that’s what I like about you 


verse 3 
E 
One slender leg had a unicorn 
A 
There was Jesus with a crown of thorns 
E                                               B7 
And a funny little moustache on the side of one finger 
E 
She had kites and a cross and books and bells 
A 
And a march hare that looked like hell 
E                   B7         E 
And on one shoulder there was Elvis 

verse 4 
E 
I said “Hey, you’re like a work of art” 
A 
And she said, “Mmhmmm, maybe so, but you’re not too smart.” 
E                                    B7 
You push your luck you know it pushes back! 
E 
I told you once “leave me alone so NO 
A 
You can’t call me on the telephone 
E                                   B7      E 
Believe me, you’re as charming as a heart attack!” 


A                                   E 
I’m lookin’ for that girl with bad tattoos 
       B7                              E 
That’s what I need to chase away these blues 
A                                   E 
I’m lookin’ for that girl with bad tattoos 
B7                       A          E 
Maybe baby that’s what I like about you
