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