When I Paint My Masterpiece

             G      C   G 
Oh, the streets of Rome 
                   G      C   G 
Are filled with rubble 
                   D            G   C  G 
Ancient footprints are everywhere 
                                  C     G 
You can almost think that you're seeing double 
     D                        C     G 
On a cold dark night on the Spanish stairs 

D                                 G    C     G 
Got to hurry on back to my hotel room 
         D                                G   C  G 
Where I got me a date with Botticelli's niece 
                                 C          G 
Yeah, she promised that she'd be there with me 
       D              G     C   G 
When I paint my masterpiece 

All the hours I spent inside the coliseum 
Dodging lions and wasting time 
Oh these mighty kings of the jungle I can hardly stand to see'em 
Yes, it sure has been a long hard climb 

Train wheels rolling through the back of my memory 
When I stood on a hilltop following a pack of wild geese 
Someday life will be sweet like a rhapsody 
When I paint my masterpiece 

        A   D  A                 A        D   A 
I left Rome       and landed in Brussels 
        E                               A     D   A 
On flight so bumpy that I almost cried 
A                              D             A 
preacher men in uniform and young girls pulling mussels 
E                                      A 
Well it sure has been a long hard ride 
E                     A      D   A 
Newspaper man eating candy 
E                          A 
Had to be held down by big police 
A                    D         A 
Someday everything's gonna be different 
       E              A 
When I paint my masterpiece
