Visions of Johanna chords
Bob Dylan

A augmentedA D MajorD E7E7 A augmentedA

     A augmentedA              D MajorD         E7E7       A augmentedA
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're trying to be so quiet?
                  D MajorD       E7E7    A augmentedA
We sit here stranded, though we're all doing our best to deny it
    E MajorE                  E7E7    A augmentedA
And Louise holds a handful of rain, tempting you to defy it
    D MajorD             A augmentedA
Lights flicker from the opposite loft,
  D MajorD               A augmentedA
in this room the heat pipes just cough,
  D MajorD              A augmentedA
the country music station plays soft,
                      E7E7
but there's nothing, really nothing to turn off
     A augmentedA     D MajorD   E7E7  A augmentedA
Just Louise and her lover so entwined,
     D MajorD       A augmentedA     E7E7     A augmentedA  D MajorD E7E7 A augmentedA
and these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind.

       A augmentedA             D MajorD      E7E7       A augmentedA
In the empty lot where the ladies play blind man's bluff with the key chain
               D MajorD       E7E7        A augmentedA
And the all night girls, they whisper of escapades out on the "D" train
    E MajorE
We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight,
                        A augmentedA
ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane
  D MajorD                A augmentedA
Louise, she's all right, she's just near
   D MajorD              A augmentedA
She's delicate and seems like the mirror
       D MajorD                A augmentedA
But she just makes it all too concise and too clear,
          E7E7
that Johanna's not here
  A augmentedA          D MajorD      E7E7      A augmentedA
The ghost of electricity howls in the bones of her face,
      D MajorD       A augmentedA       E7E7    A augmentedA   D MajorD E7E7 A augmentedA
where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place.

   A augmentedA          D MajorD        E7E7   A augmentedA
Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously
              D MajorD       E7E7    A augmentedA
He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously
     E MajorE                          A augmentedA
And when bringing her name up he speaks of a farewell kiss to me
   D MajorD        A augmentedA
He's sure got a lotta gall,
  D MajorD         A augmentedA
to be so useless and all,
D MajorD              A augmentedA
muttering small talk at the wall,
         E7E7
while I'm in the hall
  A augmentedA             D MajorD    E7E7 A augmentedA
Oh, how can I explain, it's so hard to get on?
     D MajorD       A augmentedA         E7E7     A augmentedA  D MajorD E7E7 A augmentedA
And these visions of Johanna, they kept me up past the dawn.

      A augmentedA    D MajorD    E7E7     A augmentedA
Inside the museums, infinity goes up on trial
              D MajorD       E7E7      A augmentedA
Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
     E MajorE                                 A augmentedA
But Mona Lisa must have had the highway blues, you can tell by the way she smiles
    D MajorD          A augmentedA
See the primitive wallflower freeze,
     D MajorD           A augmentedA
when the jelly faced women all sneeze,
     D MajorD              A augmentedA           E7E7
hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeeze, I can't find my knees"
  A augmentedA           D MajorD       E7E7     A augmentedA
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
     D MajorD      A augmentedA         E7E7     A augmentedA  D MajorD E7E7 A augmentedA
But these visions of Johanna they make it all seem so cruel.

  A augmentedA             D MajorD         E7E7         A augmentedA
The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him
     A augmentedA
Saying' "Name me someone that's not a parasite,
      D MajorD       E7E7     A augmentedA
and I'll go out and say a prayer for him." But like Louise
E MajorE
always says, "Ya can't look at much, can ya man?" as she, herself,
  A augmentedA
prepares for him
   D MajorD            A augmentedA
And Madonna, she still has not showed
      D MajorD         A augmentedA
We see this empty cage now corrode
     D MajorD             A augmentedA
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
  D MajorD              A augmentedA
The fiddler, he now steps to the road,
     D MajorD                  A augmentedA
he writes everything's been returned which was owed,
    D MajorD              A augmentedA              E7E7
on the back of the fish truck that loads while my conscience explodes
    A augmentedA        D MajorD    E MajorE      A augmentedA
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain,
     D MajorD       A augmentedA      E7E7     A augmentedA
and these visions of Johanna are now all that remain.
