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.

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.

Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola,

|
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, everything's gonna be different, When I paint my masterpiece.
