Spanish Steps

Bm A D

[Verse 1]
          D                 G    D
There's a place that I once heard about
     D              G              D
In a story that was read to me out loud
  D            G          A      D
A land of make believe or so it seemed
       Bm            A                 D
And it took me to a place of hopes and dreams
   D              G         D
My mother said to me when I turned 18
           D                     G       D
"There's a ship and it's sailing across the sea
     D                     G        A     D
Just promise me boy you'll write me every day
    Bm              A        D
Now leave before my mind changes"


[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bm                 Asus4
Turn my back to my homeland
        G              D
Throw a coin over my shoulder
  G
I hear the water break
    G
May good luck come my way


[Chorus]
D             G              D
How long does take to get to Rome?
D                           G                 A
When you're standing on the other side of the globe
Bm                 A          G                    D
Even if it takes a lifetime I swear that I'd still go
       D                   G                  D
When I climb those Spanish Steps I'll let you know

[Verse 2]
    D                    G      D
I'm singing tunes in the Chorus cafe
D               G               D
24 years to the day I have been awake
D                    G        A       D
My feet are standing still on foreign ground
           Bm           A               D
There's no map to show you this side of town


[Pre-Chorus 2]
Bm                   Asus4
Turned my back to my homeland
       G               D
Never looked over my shoulder
 G
I heard my mother say
       N.C.
"You've lost something along the way"


[Chorus]
    D         G              D
How long does take to get to Rome?
     D                                        A
When you're standing on the other side of the globe
Bm                 A           G                   D
Even if it takes a lifetime I swear that I'd still go
       D                   G                  D
When I climb those Spanish Steps I'll let you know
