Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble
D       E              D    A
Ancient footprints are everywhere.
D         A                        D      A
You could almost think that you're seeing double
D    E                       D       A
On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs.
D     E                   D     A
Gotta hurry on back to my hotel room
D       E                                  D         A
Where I got me a date with a pretty little girl from Greece.
D   A                 D          A
She promised she'd be there with me
D      E        D     A
When I paint my masterpiece.

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 drive.
Train wheels a-running thru the back of my memory
When I ran on a hilltop following a pack of wild geese
Someday everything is gonna sound like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece.

Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola
Oh to be back in the land of, Coca-Cola.
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 mussels
Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside
Newspaper men eating candy
Had to be held down by big police.
Someday, everything's gonna be different
When I paint my masterpiece
