Start Jamming...
[G]
Oh, those trees of gold are filled with rubble.
[D] Ancient footprints
[Bm] are [G] everywhere.
Well, you could almost think that you're seeing double
On [C] [D] a cold, [B] dark night on a Spanish [G] day.
[D] Gotta run back [E] tomorrow
Or [G] tell her [D] where I got me a date
By each other's [G] knees.
She promised [C] she'd be right [G] there with me
When [D] I paint my [G] masterpiece.
[D]
[G]
Oh, there I'll be
Inside the Coliseum
[Dm] Dodging [G] lies
[D] Wasting, wasting time.
Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle lock and harpen to stand to see
Well, [D] it sure has been a long, [G] hard ride
[D] Drinking a wheel, rolling through the [G] back of my memory
[D] Wearing a nail top, following [G] a pack of wild geese
Someday, life will be sweet like a rhapsody
[G] When [D] I paint my [G] masterpiece.

[D] [A]
[D] Well, I [A] left Rowan in Atlanta and in Brussels
On [E] a flight so bumpy that I [A] almost cried
[A] Pushing out a uniform
As a young girl from the bustle
[E] Well, it sure has been a long, [A] hard ride
[E]
Newspaper and [A] reading candy
[E] Had to be held down by [A] big police
Someday, everything's gonna be different
[E] When I paint [B] my [A] masterpiece.
Someday, everything's gonna be different
When [E] I paint my [A] masterpiece.
[E] When I paint
[B] my [A] masterpiece.
When I paint my masterpiece.
