INtro - B



(verse 1)

           B
She was touching up her make up I 
was standing next in line,
B
Couldn't help but notice neath those
 powder room lights,
            E
There was china red outlined in 
black on the left side of her 
shoulder,
          B
In plain view
A                       E        
I just had to ask hey, what's 
                       B
with that half a heart tattoo,



(verse 2)
             B
She glanced at me through the mirror
 and just started to laugh,
B
She said I know this looks funny but
 there is another half,
           E7
And it's china red outlined in black
 on the right side of his shoulder,

Last I knew,
A                              E 
Yeah somewhere out there is a 
                          B
match to this half a heart tattoo,

      A                 D     
Well last I heard some red head 
             B
caught his eye in New Orleans,
      A                            
and before it was a blonde in Baton
   B
 Rouge,
   A                         D    
I know there are at least a dozen 
             B
gals out sporting one of these,
   A                        F#
Thinking they are the only fool,
           A           E          
That he's left with a half a heart
    B
 tattoo,




(verse 3)
       B
Well girl you got my sympathy I knew
 a guy like that,
B
I said Well you ain't gonna believe 
this then I pulled my jacket back,
            E7
Yeah it's china red outlined in 
black on the left side of my 
shoulder,
              B
Still fairly new yeah,
A                                 
I guess there's just a whole mess 
   E                        B
of us with a half a heart tattoo,


(chorus)
           A                D     
Well the last I heard he'd moved 
              B
in with some dancer from L.A.
         A                      
But I'm bettin that won't last a 
          B
week or two,
           A              D       
He loves long enough to leave his 
           B
mark and then he's on his way,
 A                              F#
He's so good they never have a clue,
              A                
til they're stuck with a half a 
  E       B
heart tattoo,
      A                     
So ladies make sure that guy 
                  F#
standing next to you,
        A          E        
Ain't wearing no half a heart 
     B
tattoo,
 B
Half a heart tattoo
 B
Half a heart tattoo,
