_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ Oh, the streets are brown, _ _ _ are filled with rubble. _ _ _
Ancient [D] footprints _ _ are [G] everywhere.
_ _ _ _ You get all those things _ _ that you [C]
see [G] in the wood.
_ _ On a cold dark [D] night _ _ by the Spanish [G] stair. _ _ _ _ _
Got to hurry [D] on back _ to my hotel room.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ Got to wash my [D] clothes, _ _ scrape [G] off all of the grease.
_ _ Got to lock the doors and turn my back on the world for a while. _
_ _ _ _ _ I'll stay right there [D] _ till I've paid my _
_ [G] masterpiece.
_ _ I had the hours I've spent _ _ inside the Coliseum. _ _ _ _ _
[C] Dodging [D] lions _ with a mean and a hungry [G] heart.
_ _ _ Those bloody kings of the jungle, _ _ I could hardly stand to see them.
I could see them coming.
[D] I could read their faces like a [G] book. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] Train wheels _ running through the back of my [G] memory. _ _ _ _
When I ran [D] on the hilltop, _ following them [B] like a wild [G] geese. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Someday, everything's going to be different.
_ _ _ When I [D] paint, _ when I paint my _
[G] masterpiece. _ _ _ _ _
Sailing [Cm] around the world, _ full of crimson and [G] coal. _ _ _ _ _
Sometimes [Bm] I feel just like my _ [D] copy's running _ over.
[Dm] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [E]
I [G] left the room _ _ and I pulled into Brussels.
_ _ _ _ And I played around [D] so bumpy _ _ _ that it made [G] me ill. _ _ _ _
Legiment uniform _ and young girls pulling muscles. _ _ _
[D] Everyone wants that meat bean _ coming down [G] the hill. _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] Newspaper men _ [G] _
eating candy had _ _ to be held back _ by big police. _ _ _ _ _ _
Someday, _ _ _ _ everything is going to be beautiful. _ _ _
When I paint [D] my _ _ _
_ [G] masterpiece. _ _ _ _ _
