Visions Of Johanna

Afinação: E A D G B ECapotraste: Sem capotraste [Intro] G C D G [Part 1] G C D G Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet? G C D G We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it D G And Louise holds a handful of rain, temptin' you to defy it C G Lights flicker from the opposite loft C D G In this room the heat pipes just cough C D G The country music station plays soft G D But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off G C D G Just Louise and her lover so entwined C G D G And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind [Harmonica] G C D G [Part 2] G C D G In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain G C D G And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the "D" train D We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight G Ask himself if it's him or them that's insane C G Louise, she's all right, she's just near C G She's delicate and seems like the mirror C G G But she just makes it all too concise and too clear D That Johanna's not here G C D G The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face C G D G Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place [Harmonica] G C D G [Part 3] G C D G Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously C C D G He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously D And when bringing her name up D G He speaks of a farewell kiss to me C G C D G He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all C G D Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall D G How can I explain? C D G It's so hard to get on C G D G And these visions of Johanna, they kept me up past the dawn [Harmonica] G C D G [Part 4] G C D G Inside the museums, infinity goes up on trial G C D G Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while G D But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues G C You can tell by the way she smiles C G See the primitive wallflower freeze C G When the jelly-faced women all sneeze C G D Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeez, I can't find my knees" G C D G Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule C G D G But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel [Harmonica] G C D G [Part 5] G C D G The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him G C D G Sayin', "Name me someone that's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him" G D But like Louise always says D "Ya can't look at much, can ya man?" G As she, herself, prepares for him C G And Madonna, she still has not showed C D G We see this empty cage now corrode C G Where her cape of the stage once had flowed C G The fiddler, he now steps to the road C D G He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed C D G On the back of the fish truck that loads G D While my conscience explodes G C D G The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain C G D G And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain [Harmonica] G C D G C D
