Verse 1
G
C
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks
G
C
G
when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
We sit here stranded,
C
D
G
C
G
though we're all doin' our best to deny it
D
And Louise holds a handful of rain,
G
temptin' you to defy it
C
G
Lights flicker from the opposite loft
C
G
In this room the heat pipes just cough
C
The country music station plays soft
D
really nothing to turn off
C
G
C
Just Louise and her lover
D
G

G
so entwined
C
G
And these visions of Johanna that
D
C
conquer my mind

Verse 2
G
In the empty lot where the ladies play
C
D
G
C
G
blindman's bluff with the key chain
C
And the all- night girls they whisper of
D
G
C
G
escapades out on the "D" train
D
We can hear the night watchman
click his flashlight
Ask himself if it's him or them
C
G
Louise, she's all right, she's just near
C
She's delicate and seems
C
But she just makes it all too concise
D
That Johanna's not here
G
C
The ghost of 'lectricity howls
D
G
in the bones of her face
C
G
Where these visions of Johanna have
D
G
now taken my place
C
Now, little boy lost, he takes
Verse 3
G
himself so seriously
He brags of his misery, he
likes to live dangerously
C
And when bringing her name up
D
He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
G
He's sure got a lotta gall to be
so useless and all
Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in
Gsus4
the hall
How can I explain?
G
Oh, it's so hard to get on
And these visions of Johanna, they
kept me up past the dawn
Verse 4
C
D
G
Infinity goes up on trial
C
Voices echo this is what salvation
D
G
must be like after a while
D
But Mona Lisa musta had the
highway blues
You can tell by the way she
C
G
Gsus4
G
smiles
C
G
See the primitive wallflower freeze
C
G
Hear the one with the mustache say,
"Jeez
D
I can't find my knees."
G
C
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang
D
G
from the head of the mule
C
G
But these visions of Johanna,
D
they make it all seem so cruel

Verse 5
G
C
The peddler now speaks to the countess who's
D
C
G
C
G
pretending to care for him
Sayin', "Name me someone that's not a parasite
C
D
G
and I'll go out and say a prayer for him."
D
But like Louise always says
"Ya can't look at much,
can ya man?"
G
C
G
As she, herself, prepares for him
C
G
And Madonna, she still has not showed
C
G
We see this empty cage now corrode
C
Where her cape of the stage
C
G
The fiddler, he now steps to the road
C
He writes ev'rything's been
G
C
G
returned which was owed
C
On the back of the fish
D
While my conscience explodes
G
C
The harmonicas play the skeleton
D
G
keys and the rain
C
And these visions of Johan
G
D
na are now all that remain
