Chords for Visions Of Johanna (Live at the Royal Albert Hall)

_ _ Ain't [C] _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
it just like the night?
[C] Play tricks when you're trying to [G] be so quiet _ _ _ _ _ _
We sit here stranded
[C] Though we're all doing our [D] best to [G] deny it _ _ _
And [D] Louise holds a handful of rain
Tempting you to defy [G] it
The [C] lights flicker from the opposite [G] loft
_ In [C] this room the heat pipes [D] just cough
[G] _ The [C] country music station plays soft
[G] But there's nothing, really nothing to [D] turn off _
_ _ _ Just [G] Louise _ [G]
and her [C] lover [D] so entwined
[G] _ _ _
_ _ _ And [C] these visions of [Bm] Johanna
[G] _ _ [D] Conquer my [G] mind
In _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ the empty lot where the ladies play
[C] Blind man's [D] bluff with the key [G] chain
And _ _ _ _ the all-night girls, they whisper
[C] Of escapades [D] out on [G] the D train _
_ _ _ We can [D] hear the night watchman
Click his flashlight and ask himself
If it's him or them, that's [G] really insane _
_ [C] Louise, she's alright, she's [G] just near _ _
[C] She's delicate, she seems like the [G] mirror
But _
_ [C] she just makes it all too concise [G] and too clear
That Johanna's [D] not here _ _ _ _ _
The [G] ghost of electricity [C] howls
[D] In the bones of her [G] face _ _ _ _ _
[A] Well, these [C] visions of [G] Johanna
Have [D] now taken my _ [G] place
Now _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ little boy lost
[C] Takes [D] himself so [G] seriously
_ He _ _ _ _ brags of his misery
[C] He likes to [D] live [G] dangerously
And _ _ _ _ when [D] bringing her name up
He speaks of a farewell kiss to [G] me
_ _ [C] He's sure got a lot of gall
[D] [G] To _ _ [C] be so useless and [D] all
_ _ _ [C] Muttering small talk at [G] the wall
While I'm [D] in the hall _
_ _ How can I [G] explain
Oh, [C] it's so hard [D] to get [G] on _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] And these visions of [G] Johanna
They kept [D] me up past the [G] dawn _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Inside the museums
[C] Infinity [D] goes up on [G] trial _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Voices echo
[C] This is what [D] salvation must be [G] like after a while
_ _ _ _ [D] Mona Lisa must have had the highway blues
You can tell by the way [G] she smiled
See [C] _ the primitive [G] wallflower freeze _
_ [C] When all the jelly-faced women [D] [G] sneeze _
_ [C] Hear the one with the mustache say
[G] Geez, I can't find my [D] niece _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ Jewels and [C] binoculars hang [D] from the head of [G] the mule _ _ _ _
[C] But these visions _ [G] of Johanna
They [D] make it all seem [G] so cruel
The _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ peddler now speaks to [C] the countess
[D] Who's pretending to [G] care for him
Saying, _ _ _ _ name me [D] someone that's not a parasite
[C] And [D] I'll go out and say [G] a prayer for him _ _ _ _
Little [D] like Louise always says
You can't look at much, can you, man?
She herself [G] prepares for him
_ _ [C] And Madonna still has [G] not showed
We _ [C] see this empty cage now [G] corrode
_ _ [C] Where a cape of the stage [G] once had flowed
_ [C] The fiddler, he now steps [D] to the road
[G] _ He [C] writes, everything's been returned, which once was [G] all
On the [C] back of the fish truck that loads
[G] While my conscience _ [D] explodes _
_ _ _ The [G] harmonicas play [C] the skeleton [D] keys in the [G] rain _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] And these visions _ [G] of Johanna
_ Now [D] all that _ [G] remains is _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Gbm] _
_ [F] _ [E] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ you
