D           A
Beauty today is only skin deep
G                    D
Temptation is strong and the job ain't cheap
D                  A
I've seen the spike up and down my arm
G                                               D
Sailor's graves and tattooed snakes and broken hearts
Workin' like a charm

Chorus:
G                      A                    D
Skinpoppin' skyboppin' baby let the needle burn (skin, sky)
G                      A                 D
Skydivin' mainlinin' it's the point of no return

D
Get yourself a tattoo
A
Don't think twice
G                                                  D
You show it off in the disco, at school around the corner,
ain't no lie
D
Goin' down the road
       A
With a pistol in my hand
          G                    D
Johnny Tattoo is lookin' for you

Chorus:
G                      A                      D
Skinpoppin' skyboppin' baby let the needle burn (skin, sky)
G                      A                 D
Skydivin' mainlinin' it's the point of no return (main sky)
G                        A                   D
You never ever gonna regret you've got a tattoo (what you're gonna tell her)
