The Tattooed Lady

E      A                  E
Once I married a tattooed lady, 
(well tell me about her Skeets)
            B               E
It was on a cold and winter day.
             A              E
And tattooed all around her body 
(what was that?)
         F#7                   B
was the  map of the good old USA.
                           E
And every night before I'd go to 
sleep,  (what’d ya do Ike?)
     F#7                           
I'd jerk down the quilt and I'd 
    B
take a peep.

But good gracious alive!


[Verse 1]
         C#7          F#
Upon her leg was Minnesota,
                      B
On her shoulder Tennessee.

And tattooed on her back
             F#
was good old Rackensack,
                          B7
the place where I long to be.
          C#7                   
Upon her (wolf whistle) was West 
    F#7
Virginnie,
             B                   
Through them hills I did love to 
G#7
roam.
       A                       
When I saw the moonlight on her 
       E
Mississippi
               B                
That's when I recognized my home 
       E
sweet home.
