Visions Of Johanna - Take 5, Rehearsal chords by Bob Dylan
Intro 1
G
Verse 1
G
Ain't it just like the
C
night to play tricks
G
D
G
When you're tryin' to be so quiet
We sit here stranded,
C
G
D
G
though we're all doin' our best to deny it
D
And Louise holds a handful of rain,
G
C
G
temptin' you to defy it
C
G
Lights flicker from the opposite loft
C
G
C
G
In this room the heat pipes just cough
C
G
The country music station plays soft
But there's nothing,
D
really nothing to turn off
G
Just Louise and her
C
G
lover so entwined
C
G
And these visions of Johanna
D
that conquer my mind
Interlude 1
G
C
G
In the empty
Verse 2
lot where the ladies play
C
G
D
G
blindman's bluff with the key chain
C
And the all- night girls they whisper of
G
D
G
escapades out on the "D" train
D
We can hear the night watchman
click his flashlight
Ask himself if it's him or them
G
that's insane
C
Louise, she's all right,
G
she's just near
C
G
She's delicate and seems like the mirror
C
But she just makes it all too
G
concise and too clear
D
That Johanna's not here
G
C
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in
G
C
G
the bones of her face
C
G
Where these visions of Johanna
D
G
have now taken my place
Verse 3
G
Now, little boy lost,
C
D
G
C
G
C
he takes himself so seriously
G
He brags of his misery,
C
G
D
G
he likes to live dangerously
D
And when bringing her name up
G
C
He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
G
C
He's sure got a lotta gall to be
G
C
G
so useless and all
C
G
C
D
Muttering small talk at the wall
G
D
while I'm in the hall
G
C
How can I explain
G
D
G
It's so hard to get on
C
G
And these visions of Johanna,
D
they kept me up past the dawn
Interlude 2

G
C
G
Verse 4
G
Inside the museums,
C
G
D
G
infinity goes up on trial
C
Voices echo this is what salvation
G
D
G
must be like after a while
C
D
But Mona Lisa musta had
the highway blues
G
C
G
You can tell by the way she smiles
C
G
See the primitive wallflower freeze
C
When the jelly- faced
G
women all sneeze
C
D
Hear the one with the mustache say,
G
D
"Jeez, I can't find my knees"
G
C
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang
G
D
G
from the head of the mule
C
G
But these visions of Johanna,
D
they make it all seem so cruel
G
Verse 5
C
The peddler now speaks to the countess who's
G
D
G
pretending to care for him
C
Sayin', name me someone that's not a parasite
G
D
G
and I'll go out and say a prayer for him
D
But like Louise always says
You can't look at much, can ya man
G
As she, herself, prepares for him
C
And Madonna,
G
she still has not showed
C
D
G
We see this empty cage now corrode
C
Where her cape of the stage
G
C
G
once had flowed
C
The fiddler, he now steps to the road
G
C
He writes everything's been
G
C
G
returned which was owed
C
D
G
C
On the back of the fish
D
G
truck that loads
D
While my conscience explodes
G
C
The harmonicas play the skeleton
G
D
G
C
G
keys and the rain
C
G
And these visions of Johanna
D
are now all that remain
