Visions Of Johanna
Bob Dylan
Key : A
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
A | D | E/B 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
A        A                           D                      E/B             A
 Ain't it just like the night to play   tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
                                      D          E/B         A
We sit here stranded, though we're all   doin' our best to deny it
          E/B                                              A
And Louise   holds a handful of rain, temptin' you to defy it

[Pre-Chorus (1)]
---------------------
       D                           A
Lights flicker from the opposite loft
        D                           A
In this room the heat pipes just cough
    D
The country music station plays soft
A                                            E/B
 But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
        A           D     E/B  A
Just Louise and her lover so   entwined
                 D          A     E/B            A
And these visions   of Johanna that conquer my mind

[Verse 2]
---------------------
A D E/B A             A                        D          E/B                  A
           In the empty lot where the ladies play   blindman's   bluff with the key 
chain
                                D             E/B              A
And the allnight girls they whisper of escapades   out on the "D" train
       E/B
We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight
                                         A
Ask himself if it's him or them that's insane

[Pre-Chorus (2)]
---------------------
       D
Louise,   she's all right, she's just near
A      D                            A
 She's delicate and seems like the mirror
             D                                   A
But she just makes it all too concise and too clear
That Johanna's not here

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
E/B    A                    D               E/B           A
   The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones   of her face
                   D          A         E/B      A
Where these visions   of Johanna have now taken my place

[Verse 3]
---------------------
A D E/B A           A                        D             E/B
           Yeah, now, little boy lost, he takes   himself so seriously
A                           D              E/B     A
 He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously
         E/B
And when bringing her name up
He speaks of a farewell kiss to me

[Pre-Chorus (3)]
---------------------
A         D                A     D
 He's sure   got a lotta gall to be   so useless and all
A      D                       A
 Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
E/B       A
   Oh, how can I explain?
D         E/B         A
It's so hard   to get on
                 D           A             E/B        A
And these visions   of Johanna, they kept me up past the

[Verse 4]
---------------------
A D E/B A  A                D             E/B      A
           Inside the museums,   infinity goes   up on trial
                            D                E/B             A
Voices echo this is what salvation must be like   after a while
         E/B
But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues
You can tell by the way she smiles

[Pre-Chorus (4)]
---------------------
A           D
 See the primitive wallflower freeze
A            D
 When the jellyfaced women all sneeze
A            D                       A
 Hear the one   with the mustache say, "Jeez, I can't find my knees"

[Chorus (4)]
---------------------
E/B   A                     D                  E/B           A
   Oh, jewels and binoculars   hang from the head   of the mule
            D              A                E/B           A
But these visions of Johanna, they make it all   seem so cruel

[Verse 5]
---------------------
A D E/B A    A                         D               E/B            A
           The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him
                                              D               E/B                A
Sayin', "Name me someone that's not a parasite   and I'll go out   and say a prayer for
 him"
               E/B
But like Louise   always says
"Ya can't look at much, can ya man?"
                         A
As she, herself, prepares for him

[Pre-Chorus (5)]
---------------------
      D                      A
And Madonna, she still has not showed
           D                  A
We see this   empty cage now corrode
          D                        A
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
             D                     A
The fiddler, he now steps to the road
               D                             A
He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed
           D                            A
On the back   of the fish truck that loads
                      E/B
While my conscience explodes

[Chorus (5)]
---------------------
       A                D          E/B            A
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys   and the rain
                 D          A        E/B            A
And these visions   of Johanna are now all that remain

[Outro]
---------------------
A | D | E/B | A | D | E/B 
A | D | E/B
