When I Paint My Masterpiece

D   a	 d    a    e

(no chord) a	  d		 a

Oh, the streets of rome are filled with rubble,

E			 a	 d

Ancient footprints are everywhere.

A 			      d        a

You could almost think that your seeing double,

E						a

On the cold, dark night on the spanish stairs.

E				    a

Gotta hurry on back to my hotel room,

E 							     a		d

Where i got me a date with a pretty little girl from greece.

A		    d	     a

She promised she'd be there with me,

E		   a

When i paint my masterpiece.

D  a   d   a   e

(no chord)	   a			   d   a

Oh, the hours we spent, inside the coliseum.

E				      a

Dodging lions, and a-wasting time,

D		  a						      d 		    a

Oh those mighty kings of the jungle, i could hardly stand to see'em

E					     a

Yes it sure has been a long, hard drive.

E					      a

Train wheels a-running thru the back of my memory,

E								   a	    d

When i ran on a hilltop following a pack of wild geese,

A					    d		      a

Someday everything is gonna sound like a rhapsody

E				   a

When i paint my masterpiece.

Am							c#m

Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola,

D	       bb			     e	     d	    c#m  d   e

Oh to be back in the land of,	 coca-cola.

D		    a		    d		 a

Well i left rome, and landed in brussels,

E							      a

On a plane ride so bumby that i almost cried,

D		     a					d	   a

Clergy men in uniform, and young girls pulling mussels,

E							  a

Everyone was there to greet me when i stepped inside,

E				      a

Newspaper men eating candy,

E 					     a	 d

Had to be held down by big police.

A		   d		a			 e			 a

Someday, its gonna be different, when i paint my masterpiece.
