WHEN I PAINT MY MASTERPIECE- Bob Dylan

A D A

Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble

D A E A

Ancient footprints are everywhere

D A D A

You can almost think that you're seein' double

D A E A

On a cord, dark night on the Spanish Stairs

E7 A D

Got to hurry on back to my hotel room

E7 A

Where I've got me a date with Botticelli's niece

D A D A

She promised that she'd be right there with me

D A E A

When I paint my masterpiece

Oh, the hours I've spent inside the Coliseum

Dodging lions and wastin' 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 runnin' through the back of my memory

When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese

Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody

When I paint my masterpiece

BRIDGE:

Dm A

Sailin'round the world in a dirty gondola

C#m D E D A B7 E7

Oh to be back in the land of Coca Cola!

I left Rome and landed in Brussels

On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried

Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin' muscles

Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside

Newspapermen eating candy had to be held down by big police Someday,

everything is gonna be different

D A E D A Bm A

When I paint my masterpiece

(from Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits Vol. 2, done around 1971)
