[Verse 1]
DA
Was so excited as a lad
AGA
About the tattoo that my uncle had
DA
It was an anchor on his hand
AGA
Reminded him of this fatherland
[Verse 2]
DA
It's not as bright, it's not as clear
AGA
As on the day, the day he had it done
DA
He didn't care because in his mind
AGA
It was as clear as on day one
[Chorus]
GAD
A little faded, the inks turned blue
GAD
But still it's there, that old tattoo
GD
A little faded, the inks turned blue
GAAD
But still it's there, that old tattoo
[Instrumental]

My first tattoo, what can i say

It seems as if i got it yesterday

Now i'm tattooed from head at toe
AGA
Nothing can beat, the first one though
