The Band - When I Paint My Masterpiece: chords

D#                 A#         D#         A#
Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble,
         F                    A#
Ancient foot prints are everywhere.
D#         A#                     D#      A#
You could almost think that your seein' double,
        F                               A#
On the cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs.
F                         F7    A#
Gotta hurry on back to my hotel room,
         F                                            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,
        F              A#
When I paint my masterpiece..

Oh, the hours we'd spend inside the Colosseum
Dodging lions, and a-wasting time
Oh those mighty kings of the jungle,
I could hardly stand to see 'em
Yes it sure has been a long, hard climb
Train wheels a-running thru the back of my memory
When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese
Someday everything is gonna sound like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece

D#m                                    A#
Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola,
Dm        D#                 F      D# A#/D C#dim7 F
Oh to be back in the land of, Coca cola.

Well, I left Rome and landed in Brussels
On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried
Clergy men in uniform, and young girls pulling muscles
Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside
Newspaper men eating candy
Had to be held down by big police
But someday everything's gonna be different
When I paint that masterpiece
