Lyrics

[Intro]
| A   G  | D - | A   G  | D - |
| A   G  | D - | F#m Em | D - |
| F#m Em | D - |

[Verse 1]
  A           G        D
Johanna drove slowly into the city
    A      G         D
The Hudson river all filled with snow
    A             G      D
She spied the ring on his honor's finger

[Bridge]
F#m Em   D
Oh, oh, oh
F#m Em D

[Verse 2]
  A             G      D
A thousand years in one piece of silver
    A           G    D
She took it from his lily white hand
A         G          D
Showed no fear she'd seen the thing
       F#m         Em         D
In the young men's wing at sloan kettering
F#m Em D

[Pre-Chorus]
              | D Em | F#m D |
| G - | F#m G | D Em | F#m D |
| G - | F#m D |

[Chorus]
D           Em       F#m       D
Look outside  at the raincoats coming,
    G
say oh
F#m D D           Em       F#m       D
      Look outside  at the raincoats coming,
    G F#m D
say oh

[Bridge]
A G D
     Hey, hey, hey, hey
A G D
     Hey, hey, hey

[Verse 3]
    A           G            D
His honor drove southward seeking exotica
A           G          D
Down to the pueblo huts of New Mexico
A            G      D
Cut his teeth on turquoise harmonicas

[Bridge]
F#m Em   D
Oh, oh, oh
F#m Em D

[Verse 4]
  A        G      D
I saw Johanna down in the subway
    A            G       D
She took an apartment in Washington heights
A               G     D
Half of the ring lies here with me
        F#m         Em       D
But the other half's  at the bottom of the sea
F#m Em D

[Pre-Chorus]
              | D Em | F#m D |
| G - | F#m D | D Em | F#m D |
| G - | F#m D |

[Chorus]
D           Em       F#m       D
Look outside  at the raincoats coming,
    G
say oh
F#m D D           Em       F#m       D
      Look outside  at the raincoats coming,
    G
say oh
F#m D D           Em       F#m       D
      Look outside  at the raincoats coming,
    G
say oh
F#m D D           Em       F#m       D
      Look outside  at the raincoats coming,
    G F#m D
say oh

[Outro]

     Hey, hey, hey, hey
