Grateful Dead – When I Paint My Masterpiece chords

             G      C   GOh, the streets of Rome
                   G      C   GAre filled with rubble
                   D            G   C  GAncient footprints are everywhere
                                  C     GYou can almost think that you're seeing double
     D                        C     GOn a cold dark night on the Spanish stairs

D                                 G    C     GGot to hurry on back to my hotel room
         D                                G   C  GWhere I got me a date with Botticelli's niece
                                 C          GYeah, she promised that she'd be there with me
       D              G     C   GWhen I paint my masterpiece

All the hours I spent inside the coliseum
Dodging lions and wasting time
Oh these mighty kings of the jungle I can hardly stand to see'em
Yes, it sure has been a long hard climb

Train wheels rolling through the back of my memory
When I stood on a hilltop following a pack of wild geese
Someday life will be sweet like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece

        A   D  A                 A        D   AI left Rome       and landed in Brussels
        E                               A     D   AOn flight so bumpy that I almost cried
A                              D             Apreacher men in uniform and young girls pulling mussels
E                                      AWell it sure has been a long hard ride
E                     A      D   ANewspaper man eating candy
E                          AHad to be held down by big police
A                    D         ASomeday everything's gonna be different
       E              AWhen I paint my masterpiece
