GCG
Oh, the streets of Rome
GCG
Are filled with rubble
DGCG
Ancient footprints are everywhere
CG
You can almost think that you're seeing double
DCG
On a cold dark night on the Spanish stairs
DGCG
Got to hurry on back to my hotel room
DGCG
Where I got me a date with Botticelli's niece
CG
Yeah, she promised that she'd be there with me
DGCG
When I paint my masterpiece
All the hours I spent inside the coliseum
Dodging lions and wasting time
Oh these mighty kings of the jungle I can hardly stand to see'em
Yes, it sure has been a long hard climb
Train wheels rolling through the back of my memory
When I stood on a hilltop following a pack of wild geese
Someday life will be sweet like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece
ADAADA
I left Rome and landed in Brussels
EADA
On flight so bumpy that I almost cried
ADA
preacher men in uniform and young girls pulling mussels
EA
Well it sure has been a long hard ride
EADA
Newspaper man eating candy
EA
Had to be held down by big police
ADA
Someday everything's gonna be different
EA
When I paint my masterpiece
