When I Paint My Masterpiece – Bob Dylan / The Band acoustic guitar cover by Jack Straw

My acoustic take of a folk rock classic from 1971. It has been played by the Band, Grateful Dead among others....and of course Dylan himself. Enjoy.

Lyrics:
Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble
Ancient footprints are everywhere
You could almost think that you're seeing double
On the cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs
Gotta hurry on back to my hotel room
Where I got me a date with Botticelli’s niece
She said she'd be right there with me
When I paint my masterpiece

Oh, the hours I had spent in the Coliseum
Dodging lions, and wasting time
Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see 'em
Yea, it sure has been a long, hard climb
Train wheels a-running through the back of my memory
As these daylight hours they do increase
Someday everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
When I paint my masterpiece

I left Rome and I landed in Brussels
On a flight so bumpy that I almost cried
Clergy men in uniform, and young girls pulling muscles,
Everyone was there to greet me and no one could hide
Newspaper men where eating candy
Had to be held down by some big police
Ah but someday, everything's gonna be different
When I paint that masterpiece
