    Verse 1
    Ain't 
    it 
    just 
    like 
    the 
    night 
    to 
    play 
    tricks 

    when 
    you're 
    tryin' 
    to 
    be 
    so 
    quiet? 


    We 
    sit 
    here 
    stranded, 
    though 
    we're 
    all 
    doin' 

    our 
    best 
    to 
    de
    ny 
    it 

    And 
    Lou
    ise 
    holds 
    handful 
    of 
    rain, 

    temptin' 
    you 
    to 
    defy 
    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 
    Lou
    ise 
    and 
    her 
    lover 
    so 

    en
    twined 

    And 
    these 
    vi
    sions 
    of 
    Johan
    na 

    that 
    conquer 
    my 
    mind 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 2
    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 
    in
    sane 

    Louise, 
    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 
    ’lectricity 
    howls 
    in 
    the 
    bones 

    of 
    her 
    face 

    Where 
    these 
    vi
    sions 
    of 
    Johan
    na 

    have 
    now 
    taken 
    my 
    place 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 3
    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 
    farewell 
    kiss 
    to 
    me 


    He’s 
    sure 
    got 
    lotta 
    gall 

    to 
    be 
    so 
    useless 
    and 
    all 

    Mutter
    ing 
    small 
    talk 
    at 
    the 
    wall 

    while 
    I’m 
    in 
    the 
    hall 

    Oh, 
    how 
    can 
    explain? 

    It's 
    so 
    hard 
    to 
    get 
    on 

    And 
    these 
    vi
    sions 
    of 
    Johan
    na, 

    they 
    kept 
    me 
    up 
    past 
    the 
    dawn 

    Interlude 3


    Verse 4
    In
    side 
    the 
    museums, 

    Infinity 
    goes 
    up 
    on 
    trial 

    Voices 
    echo 
    this 
    is 
    what 
    sal
    vation 
    must 
    be 
    like 

    after 
    while 

    But 
    Mona 
    Lisa 
    musta 
    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 
    can’t 
    find 
    my 
    knees” 

    Oh, 
    jewels 
    and 
    binoculars 

    hang 
    from 
    the 
    head 
    of 
    the 
    mule 

    But 
    these 
    vi
    sions 
    of 
    Johan
    na, 

    they 
    make 
    it 
    all 
    seem 
    so 
    cruel 

    Interlude 4


    Verse 5
    Well, 
    the 
    peddler 
    now 
    speaks 
    to 
    the 
    countess 

    who’s 
    pre
    tending 
    to 
    care 
    for 
    him 

    Sayin’, 
    “Name 
    me 
    someone 

    that’s 
    not 
    parasite 
    and 
    I’ll 
    go 
    out 

    and 
    say 
    prayer 
    for 
    him” 

    But 
    like 
    Lou
    ise 
    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 
    fid
    dler, 
    he 
    now 
    steps 
    to 
    the 
    road 

    He 
    writes 
    ev'
    rything'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 
    vi
    sions 
    of 
    Johan
    na 

    are 
    now 
    all 
    that 
    remain

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
