capo 1 — sounds a semitone higherIntro
Verse 1
Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble,
Ancient foot prints are everywhere.
You could almost think that your seein' double,
On the cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs.
Gotta hurry on back to my hotel room,
Where I got me a date with a pretty little girl from Greece.
She promised she'd be there with me,
When I paint my masterpiece.
Interlude
Verse 2
Oh, the hours we spent, inside the Coliseum.
Dodging lions, and a-wasting time,
Oh those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see'em
Yes it sure has been a long, hard climb.
Train wheels a running through the back of my memory,
When I ran on a hilltop followin' a pack of wild geese,
Someday everything is gonna sound like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece.
Bridge
Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola,
Oh to be back in the land of, Coca cola.
Verse 3
Well I left Rome, and landed in Brussels,
On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried,
Clergy men in uniform, and young girls pulling muscles,
Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside,
Newspaper men eatin' candy,
Had to be held down by big police.
Someday, everything is gonna be different,
When I paint my masterpiece.
