[A] [D]
[A] [D]
[A] [D] Oh the [A] streets of Rome are filled with rubble
[E] Ancient footprints are
[A] everywhere
You can almost faint that you're seeing double
[E] On a cold night on the [A] Spanish air
Got
[E] to hurry on back to my [A] hotel room
[E] I got to see a dream with a pretty little [A] girl from Greece
She promised [D] she'd be [A] there with me
[E] I'll drink my pain through my [A] masterpiece
[D]
[A]
[D]
[A] Oh the hours we spend [D] inside the
[A] Coliseum
Dodging, [E] running, and wasting [A] time
Through those mighty beams of the jungle [D] on the San [A] Francisco
And [E] it sure has been a long [A] ride
[E]
Train wheels are running through the back of [A] my memory
[E] When I ran on the hilltop while I was packing [A] wild cheese
Someday it [D] [A]
has to be
Oh can [E] I paint my [A] masterpiece
[Dm]
I've stayed around the world in a dirty [A]
gondola
[Dbm]
Oh to [D] be back in the [E] land of the [D] Netherlands
[Dbm] [Cm] [E]
[Bm] But I [A] left Rome and [D] I landed [A] in Brussels
Oh [E] the plane ride so bumpy [B] that I [A] almost cried
[D] I'm lurking [A] in a uniform
[D]
[A]
[E] Everyone was acting a little greasy when I stepped [A] inside
The
[E] newspaper man eating [A] candy
I [E] had my feet held out by [A] beautiful me
Someday [D] everything's gonna be [A] different
When [E] I paint my [A] masterpiece
[Gbm] [A] Someday

when [E] I paint my [A] masterpiece
