This will be a bonus track on the new album 'Tape Deck Heart'
This hasn't been tabbed yet and it's quite simple so here it is -
although it's a bit sketchy at the moment, even Frank himself doesn't
seem to have grasped exactly how he wants it to go yet from the handful
of live versions of Youtube! But you won't go far wrong with these chords:

[Verse]
G
Oh it's payday, yes it's payday
C G
I've got my paycheque from the man
E7
Cause there's not so many jobs that I can get these days
A7 D
With these marks all over my hands
G5 G7
But I'm gonna take that cheque I'm gonna head across the track
C Cm
To the wrong side of this town
G5 E7
I'm gonna open the door, i'm gonna bask in the roar
A7 D G
Of that familiar buzzing needle sound
[Chorus]
D G5
Because the ink in my skin where the needle went in
D G5
How ever many years ago
C Am
Has left marks on my arms and they say who I am
D7 G5
Everywhere that I go
D G5
Some people have none, some have ones that they're ashamed of
D G5
Most people think that we're fools
C G5 E7
Some people don't get it and some people don't care
C D G
And some of us we have tattoos
[Verse]
2ND VERSE SAME CHORDS AS BEFORE
Oh it's fading, yes it's fading
Some of the things that I believed back then
Yes the skin has started sagging and the ink has started running
And I've got buddy tattoos with people who aren't my friends
Oh I've even got black X's from back when I was straight edge
So crack open a beer friends now and let's make a pledge
If we had the luck to live our lives a second time through
We'd be sure to get the same tattoos
CHORUS SAME WORDS AND CHORDS
[BRIDGE/OUTRO]
C
We've got hearts for the lovers
A7
And playing cards for the gamblers
Em
Black Flag bars for the punks
D
Sailing ships for the ramblers
C
We've got skulls for the living
A7
And the pain pays our dues
C D G
Some of us we have tattoos
C D G
Oh some of us we have tattoos
C D G E7
Oh some of us we have tattoos
C D G D G
Yes some of us we have tattoos
