Tonart: A major
Intro 1
A
Verse 1
A
E
A
When you're tryin' to be so quiet
We sit here stranded,
D
A
E
A
though we're all doin' our be st to deny it
E
And Louise holds a handful of rain,
A
D
A
temptin' you to defy it
D
A
Lights flicker from the opposite loft
D
A
D
A
In this room the heat pipes just cough
D
A
The country music station plays soft
But there's nothing,
E
really nothing to turn off
D
A
lover so entwined
D
A
And these visions of Johanna
Interlude 1

D
A
In the empty
Verse 2
lot where the ladies play
D
A
E
A
blindman's bluff with the key chain
D
And the all- night girls they whisper of
A
E
A
escapades out on the "D" train
E
We can hear the night watchman
click his flashlight
Ask himself if it's him or them
D
Louise, she's all right,
D
A
She's delicate and seems like the mirror
D
But she just makes it all too
E
That Johanna's not here
A
D
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in
A
D
A
the bones of her face
D
A
Where these visions of Johanna
E
A
have now taken my place
Verse 3
D
E
A
D
A
D
he takes himself so seriously
A
He brags of his misery,
D
A
E
A
he likes to live dangerously
E
And when bringing her name up
A
D
He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
A
D
He's sure got a lotta gall to be
A
D
A
so useless and all
D
A
D
E
Muttering small talk at the wall
A
E
while I'm in the hall
A
D
How can I explain
A
E
A
It's so hard to get on
D
A
And these visions of Johanna,
E
they kept me up past the dawn

Verse 4
D
A
E
A
infinity goes up on trial
D
Voices echo this is what salvation
A
E
A
must be like after a while
D
E
But Mona Lisa musta had
the highway blues
A
D
A
You can tell by the way she smiles
D
A
See the primitive wallflower freeze
D
E
Hear the one with the mustache say,
A
E
"Jeez, I can't find my knees"
A
D
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang
A
E
A
from the head of the mule
D
A
But these visions of Johanna,
E
they make it all seem so cruel
A
Verse 5
D
The peddler now speaks to the countess who's
A
E
A
pretending to care for him
D
Sayin', name me someone that's not a parasite
A
E
A
and I'll go out and say a prayer for him
E
But like Louise always says
You can't look at much, can ya man
A
As she, herself, prepares for him
A
she still has not showed
D
E
A
We see this empty cage now corrode
D
Where her cape of the stage
A
D
A
once had flowed
D
The fiddler, he now steps to the road
A
D
He writes everything's been
A
D
A
returned which was owed
D
E
A
D
On the back of the fish
E
A
truck that loads
E
While my conscience explodes
A
D
The harmonicas play the skeleton
A
E
A
D
A
keys and the rain
D
A
And these visions of Johanna
E
are now all that remain
