Version 1WHEN 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 cold, 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
