When I Paint My Masterpiece

[Verse 1]
D                    A           
 Oh, the streets of  Rome are    
   D             A
   filled with   rubble,
        E                    A
Ancient foot prints are everywhere.
D         A                      
You could almost think that your 
D      A
seein' double,
       E                      
On the cold, dark night on the 
         A
Spanish Stairs.
E                         E7    
Gotta hurry on back to my hotel 
A
room,
        E                          
Where I got me a date with a pretty
                  A      D
 little girl from Greece.
    A               D        A
She promised she'd  be there with 
me,
       E              A
When I paint my masterpiece.

[Verse 2]
        D        A                 
Oh, the hours we spent, inside the 
D   A
Coliseum.
        E                    A     D
Dodging lions, and a-wasting time,
         A                         
Oh those mighty kings of the 
          D               A
jungle, I could hardly stand to 
see'em
       E               E7       
Yes it sure has been a long, hard 
   A
climb.
E                                 
Train wheels a running through the
            A
 back of my memory,
       E                           
When I ran on a hilltop followin' a
              A     D
 pack of wild geese,
A                           D    
Someday everything is gonna sound
        A
 like a rhapsody
       E              A
When I paint my masterpiece.


[Bridge]
Dm                                
Sailing round the world in a dirty
    A
 gondola,
C#m        D                    
Oh to be back in the land of, 
E   D    A/C#  Cdim7   E
Coca cola.


[Verse 3]
     D      A         D         
Well I left Rome, and landed in 
A
Brussels,
     E                         
On a plane ride so bumpy that I 
 E7     A
almost cried,
D             A                  
Clergy men in uniform, and young 
     D        A
girls pulling mussels,
             E                     
Everyone was there to greet me when
    E7        A
 I stepped inside,
E                       A
Newspaper men eatin' candy,
E                            A    D
Had to be held down by big police.
A                      D        
Someday, everything is gonna be 
A
different,
       E              A
When I paint my masterpiece.
