 (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 bumby 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.
