Visions of Johanna chords
Bob Dylan

A D E7 A

A D E7 AAin't it just like the night to play tricks when you're trying to be so quiet?
D E7 AWe sit here stranded, though we're all doing our best to deny it
E E7 AAnd Louise holds a handful of rain, tempting you to defy it
D ALights flicker from the opposite loft,
D Ain this room the heat pipes just cough,
D Athe country music station plays soft,
E7but there's nothing, really nothing to turn off
A D E7 AJust Louise and her lover so entwined,
D A E7 A D E7 Aand these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind.
A D E7 AIn the empty lot where the ladies play blind man's bluff with the key chain
D E7 AAnd the all night girls, they whisper of escapades out on the "D" train
EWe can hear the night watchman click his flashlight,
Aask himself if it's him or them that's really insane
D ALouise, she's all right, she's just near
D AShe's delicate and seems like the mirror
D ABut she just makes it all too concise and too clear,
E7that Johanna's not here
A D E7 AThe ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face,
D A E7 A D E7 Awhere these visions of Johanna have now taken my place.
A D E7 ANow, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously
D E7 AHe brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously
E AAnd when bringing her name up he speaks of a farewell kiss to me
D AHe's sure got a lotta gall,
D Ato be so useless and all,
D Amuttering small talk at the wall,
E7while I'm in the hall
A D E7 AOh, how can I explain, it's so hard to get on?
D A E7 A D E7 AAnd these visions of Johanna, they kept me up past the dawn.
A D E7 AInside the museums, infinity goes up on trial
D E7 AVoices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
E ABut Mona Lisa must have had the highway blues, you can tell by the way she smiles
D ASee the primitive wallflower freeze,
D Awhen the jelly faced women all sneeze,
D A E7hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeeze, I can't find my knees"
A D E7 AOh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
D A E7 A D E7 ABut these visions of Johanna they make it all seem so cruel.
A D E7 AThe peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him
ASaying' "Name me someone that's not a parasite,
D E7 Aand I'll go out and say a prayer for him." But like Louise
Ealways says, "Ya can't look at much, can ya man?" as she, herself,
Aprepares for him
D AAnd Madonna, she still has not showed
D AWe see this empty cage now corrode
D AWhere her cape of the stage once had flowed
D AThe fiddler, he now steps to the road,
D Ahe writes everything s been returned which was owed,
D A E7on the back of the fish truck that loads while my conscience explodes
A D E AThe harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain,
D A E7 Aand these visions of Johanna are now all that remain.
