When I Paint My Masterpiece Chords

[Intro 1]

[Verse 1]
[D]All the streets of
[D]Rome are filled with rubble
Ancient foot[A]prints are [D]everywhere
But you could almost think that
you're seeing double
On a [A]cold, night [D]on a
Spanish stair
Got [G]to hurry home, back to my,
my [D]hotel room
Well, [G]got me a date with
Botticel[D]li's niece
She prom[D]ised she'd be
right there with me
When [A]I paint [D]my masterpiece
[D]Why are the hours that
I spend inside the
Coliseum
Dodging [A]lions an[Esus4]d wasting time?[D]
[Bm]All them[D] mighty kings of the jungle,
I could hardly stand to see them
Well, it [A]sure has been a [D]long, climb
[G]Green wheels are running
through the [D]back of my memory
And [G]I ran down the hilltop,
followed by a pack of [D]wild geese
Someday, everything is gonna
be smooth like a rhapsody
When [A]I paint my [D]masterpiece[A]
[D][A][D]
[D][A][D]
I left
Rome, landed in
Brussels I [F#m]took a[A] plane ride,
[D]so bumpy I almost cried
A clergyman in uniform,
young girls pulling muscles
[A]Everyone was there [Esus4]but me
when I stepped [D]inside
[G]Newspaper men eating [D]candy
I [G]had to be held down by big [D]police
Well, someday everything's
gonna be different
When [A]I paint [Esus4]on my master[D]piece
[A]
[E][D][A]
[D]
I'm going
Thank for
Thank you.
