DADAE
[Verse 1]
DADA
Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble,
EA
Ancient foot prints are everywhere.
DADA
You could almost think that your seein' double,
EA
On the cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs.
EE7A
Gotta hurry on back to my hotel room,
EAD
Where I got me a date with a pretty little girl from Greece.
ADA
She promised she'd be there with me,
EA
When I paint my masterpiece.
[Interlude]
DADAE
[Verse 2]
DADA
Oh, the hours we spent, inside the Coliseum.
EAD
Dodging lions, and a-wasting time,
ADA
Oh those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see'em
EE7A
Yes it sure has been a long, hard climb.
EA
Train wheels a running through the back of my memory,
EAD
When I ran on a hilltop followin' a pack of wild geese,
ADA
Someday everything is gonna sound like a rhapsody
EA
When I paint my masterpiece.
[Bridge]
DmA
Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola,
C#mDEDA/C#Cdim7E
Oh to be back in the land of, Coca cola.
[Verse 3]
DADA
Well I left Rome, and landed in Brussels,
EE7A
On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried,
DADA
Clergy men in uniform, and young girls pulling mussels,
EE7A
Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside,
EA
Newspaper men eatin' candy,
EAD
Had to be held down by big police.
ADA
Someday, everything is gonna be different,
EA
When I paint my masterpiece.
DADA
