[C][Dsus4][D][G][C][G][C][G]
Oh, [C]the streets of

[Verse 1]
[G]
Rome are [C]filled with [G]rubble
Ancient [C]footprint[G] s[D]

You can [G]almost think that
you're see[C]in' [G]double[C]
On [G]a cold, dark [D]night on
the Span[G]ish Stairs

[Verse 2]
[D]Got to hurry on back to my
[C]hotel [G]room
Where I've [D]got me a date with

[Ab]Every[Eb]one was t[Bb]here b[Eb]ut nobody
tried to [Ab]hide

[Verse 6]
[Eb]Newspapermen [Ab]eating candy
[Eb]Had to be held down by
big [Db]po l[Ab]ice[Db]
[Ab]Someday, everything is gonna
[Db]be d[Ab]iff'rent[Db]
