From: Harlan L Thompson 
 
 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
