The Band - When I Paint My Masterpiece (Alternate Take) lyrics

D A D A E (no chord) A D A Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble E A D Ancient footprints are everywhere A D A You could almost think that your seeing double E A On the cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs E A Gotta hurry on back to my hotel room E 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 E A When I paint my masterpiece D A D A E (no chord) A D A Oh, the hours we spent, inside the Coliseum E A Dodging lions, and a-wasting time D A D A Oh those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see'em E A Yes it sure has been a long, hard drive E A Train wheels a-running thru the back of my memory E A D When I ran on a hilltop following a pack of wild geese A D A Someday everything is gonna sound like a rhapsody E A When I paint my masterpiece Am C#m Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola D Bb E D C#m D E Oh to be back in the land of, Coca-cola D A D A Well I left Rome, and landed in Brussels E A On a plane ride so BUMPY that I almost cried D A D A Clergy men in uniform, and young girls pulling mussels E A Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside E A Newspaper men eating candy E A D Had to be held down by big police A D A E A Someday, its gonna be different, When I paint my masterpiece
