Am 
I have a crimson dragon tattoo 
It burns on my arm like the truth 
                                    D         Am 
the red ink is in my skin its on my soul too 
         C       Em       Am

Am 
21 silver dollars is what it cost 
Drawn by a fast left hand when I was lost 
                            D         Am 
I did not choose a heart, a rose or a cross 
 C        Em                 Am 
21 silver dollars is what it cost 
 
Am 
Sometimes it whispers my name 
And tells me that this life is just a game 
                               D                  Am 
Whom the gods wish to destroy, first they drive insane 
    C        Em          Am 
Sometimes it whispers my name 
 
Am 
I have a crimson dragon tattoo 
It burns on my arm like the truth 
                                    D         Am 
the red ink is in my skin its on my soul too 
         C       Em       Am 
I have a crimson dragon tattoo 
         C       Em       Am 
I have a crimson dragon tattoo
