Visions of Johanna chords

Bob Dylan 1966

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visions_of_Johanna

Ain't it

just like the night to play

tricks when you're

trying to be so

quiet?

We sit here stranded, though we're

all doing our

best to de

ny it

And Loui

se holds a handful of rain, tempting

you to de

fy it

Lights

flicker from the opposite

loft,

in

this room the heat pipes just

cough,

the

country music station plays

soft,

but there's nothing, really nothing to turn

off

Just Loui

se and her

lover

so en

twined,

and these

visions of Joh

anna that

con

quer my

mind.

In the empty

lot where the ladies play

blind man's

bluff with the

key chain

And the all night girls, they

whisper of esca

pades out on the "

D" train

We can

hear the night watchman click his flashlight,

ask himself if it's him or them that's really in

sane

Lou

ise, she's all right, she's just

near

She's

delicate and seems like the

mirror

But she just

makes it all too concise and too

clear,

that Johanna's not

here

The

ghost of electricity

howls in the

bones of her

face,

where these

visions of Joh

anna have now

tak

en my

place.

Now,

little boy lost, he

takes himself so

serious

ly

He brags of his misery, he

likes to live

dangerous

ly

And when

bringing her name up he speaks of a farewell kiss to

me

He's

sure got a lotta

gall,

to

be so useless and

all,

muttering small talk at the

wall,

while I'm in the

hall

Oh,

how can I explain, it's so

hard to

get

on?

And these

visions of Joh

anna, they kept me

up

past the

dawn.

Inside the

museums,

infinity

goes up on

trial

Voices echo this is what sal

vation must be

like after a

while

But Mona

Lisa must have had the highway blues, you can tell by the way she

smiles

See the

primitive wallflower

freeze,

when the

jelly faced women all

sneeze,

hear the

one with the mustache say, "

Jeeze, I can't find my

knees"

Oh,

jewels and binoculars

hang from the

head of the

mule

But these

visions of Jo

hanna they make it

all

seem so

cruel

.

The

peddler now speaks to the

countess who's pre

tending to care for

him

Saying' "

Name me someone that's not a parasite,

and I'll go

out and say a

prayer for

him.

"

But like Louise

always says, "Ya can't look at much, can ya man?" as she, herself,

pre

pares for him

And Ma

donna, she still has not

showed

We see this

empty cage now cor

rode

Where her

cape of the stage once had

flowed

The

fiddler, he now steps to the

road,

he writes

everything s been returned which was

owed,

on the

back of the fish truck that

loads while my conscience ex

plodes

The har

monicas play the

skeleton

keys and the

rain,

and these

visions of Joh

anna are now

all

that re

main.
