M. Faithfull - Visions of Johanna Chords

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Ain't it just like the night to [Eb] be
[F] Tricks when you're trying to [Bb] be so quiet _ _ _ _ _ _
We sit here stranded
[Eb] Though we're all [F] doing our best [Bb] to deny it
_ _ _ _ [F] And Louise holds a handful of rain
Tempting you [Bb] to defy it
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] Lights flicker from the opposite [Bb] loft
_ _ [Eb] In this room the heat pipes [Bb] just cough
The _ [Eb] _
country music station [Bb] plays soft
But there's nothing, really nothing to [F] turn on
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] Just Louise _ [Eb] and her lover [F] so [Bb]
entwined
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] And these visions _ [Bb] of Johanna
_ [F] That carve my [Bb] mind _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Inside the [C] museums
[Eb]
Infinity [F] [Bb] goes up on trial _ _ _
_ _ Voices echo, this is what
[Eb] Salvation must be [F] like after a [Bb] while
But _ _ _ Mona [F] Lisa must have had the highway blues
You can tell by the way she [Bb] smiled _ _ _ _
_ See [Eb] the primitive _ wallflower [Bb]
freeze
When [Eb] the jelly-faced women all [Bb]
sneeze
Hear [Eb] the one with the mustache say
[Bb] Jeez, I can't find the [F] knees _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] Jewels and binoculars [Eb] hang [F] from the [Bb] head of the mule _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] But these visions [Bb] of Johanna
They [F] make it all seem [Bb] so cruel
_ _ _ _ _ _ The peddler now speaks
[Eb] To the [F] countess who's pretending [Bb] to care for him
_ _ _ _ Saying, name me someone who's not a [Eb] parasite
[F] And I'll go out and [Bb] say a prayer for him
But _ _ [F] like Louise always says
You can't look at much, can you, man?
And she herself [Bb] prepares for him
_ _ _ _ A [Eb] Madonna she still [Bb] hasn't showed
We _ [Eb]
see the empty cage now [Bb] corrode
Where her [Eb] cape and stage once had flowed
[Bb] The peddler in our steps on [Eb] the road
He writes everything's been [Bb] returned which was owed
On the [Eb] back were the fish trucks that load
[Bb] While my conscience [F] explodes
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] The harmonicas play
[Eb] The [F] skeleton keys [Bb] and the rhyme
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] And these visions _ [Bb] of Johanna
Are [F] now all [Bb] that remain _ _ _ _
