5    5     6    6   -7
Oh, the streets of Rome 
 5    -7     5   6  -3
are filled with rub-ble,
7   -8    -8    -8    5  -7  5    6
An-cient foot-prints are ev-‘ry-where.
 5   6  -7  -7    6    6
You can al-most think that
  5    -8  -8  -7   6 
you're see-in' dou-ble
5   6  -8   -8  -7-6  -6  6   -7  -7  -6  6
On  a cold dark night on the Span-ish Stairs.

-6  -6 -6  -6 -6  -6  -6 6  -5  6   -7
Got to hur-ry on back to my ho-tel room,
  6    -6  -6  -6 6  -6   -6
Where I've got me a date with
-8  -8 -7   6    -7 
Bot-ti-cel-li’s niece.
 6   -8   -8   -6    6   -8
She prom-ised that she'd be
 -8     -8   -7  6
right there with me
 5   6 -8-7  -6 -6   6    6
When I paint my mas-ter-piece.

6    6   -7     6    -7
Oh, the hours I've spent
6   6    5  -7  5 6  -3 
in-side the Col-i-se-um,
 7   -8  -8 -8   5   -7  5    6
Dodg-ing li-ons and wast-in' time.
5     6    -7  -7  -7   -5  5   6   6
Oh, those might-y kings of the jun-gle,
6   5    -8  -8   -8  -8 -7   6
I could hard-ly stand to see 'em,
 5   6   -8  -8   -7  6  -7   -7  -6 6
Yes, it sure has been a long hard climb.

 -6     -6   -6  -6    -6
Train wheels run-nin' thru
-6   -6  -6 6  -7 -7 -7 
the back of my mem-o-ry,
 6  -6 -6  -6  6   -6  -6
When I ran on the hill-top
-8  -8  -8 -8  -7  6   6    -7 
Fol-low-ing a pack of wild geese.
 -8  -8   -8  -8  -6   6  -8  -8 -8
Some-day, ev-‘ry-thing is gon-na be
  -7    6   6   6  5  6
Smooth like a rhap-so-dy,
 5   6 -8-7  -6 -6   6    6
When I paint my mas-ter-piece.

 6   6      6    6    5
Sail-in' 'round the world
6  5  6  -6  6  -7 -7 
in a dir-ty gon-dol-a,
-7  -7 -7   -7 -7 -6    6  5  -8 8 -8-76-6-7
Oh, to be back in the land of Co-ca-Co-la!

-7 -7   -7   5   -7  -7 5   6    -3
I left Rome and land-ed in Brus-sels,
-7 -8  -8   -8  -8  -8 -8
On a plane ride so bump-y
 -7  5 -7  5     6 
that I al-most cried.
5    6    -7  -7 -7  5  6  6   6
Oh those cler-gy-men in un-i-form
 5   -8     -8   -8  -8  -7   6 
and young girls pull-in' mus-cles,
5   6  -8  -8    -8  -8  -7   -6
Ev-‘ry-one was there to greet me
 -6  6    -7   -7  -665-4 
when I stepped in-  side.

 -6  -6 -6  -6  -8   6  -7  -7
News-pa-per-men eat-ing can-dy
-6  6  -6  -6   -8  -8 -7  6   -7
Had to be held down by big po-lice.
 -8  -8   -8  -8  -6
Some-day, ev-‘ry-thing
 6 -8  -8 -8  -7   6  
is gon-na be dif-f'rent
 -8  -8 -8   6  -7  -7  -6 6
When I paint my mas-ter-piece.
