[ Предположительная тональность: A ] Visions of Johanna - Bob Dylan -------------------------------- ('Blonde on Blonde' album) A D E7 A Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet? D E7 A We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it E A And Louise holds a handful of rain, temptin' you to defy it D A Lights flicker from the opposite loft D A In this room the heat pipes just cough D The country music station plays soft A E7 But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off A D E7 A Just Louise and her lover so entwined D A E7 A D A And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind. A D E7 A In the empty lot where the ladies play blind man's bluff with the key chain D E7 A And the allnight girls, they whisper of escapades out on the "D" train E We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight A Ask himself if it's him or them that's realy insane D A Louise, she's allright, she's just near D A She's delicate and seems like the mirror D But she just makes it all too concice and too clear A E7 That Johanna's not here A D E7 A The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face D A E7 A D A Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place. A D E7 A Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously D E7 A He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously E A And when bringing her name up He speaks of a farewell kiss to me D A He's sure got a lotta gall D A to be so useless and all D Muttering small talk at the wall A E7 while I'm in the hall A D E7 A How can I explain? Oh, it's so hard to get on D A E7 A D A And these visions of Johanna, they kept me up past the dawn. A D E7 A Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial D E7 A Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while E A But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues You can tell by the way she smiles D A See the primitive wallflower freeze D A When the jellyfaced women all sneeze D A E7 Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeeze, I can't find my knees" A D E7 A Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule D A E7 A D A But these visions of Johanna they make it all seem so cruel. A D E7 A The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him Sayin' "Name me someone that's not a parasite D E7 A and I'll go out and say a prayer for him." But like Louise E always says, "Ya can't look at much, can ya man?" As she, herself, pre A -pares for him D A And Madonna, she still has not showed D D We see this empty cage now corrode D A Where her cape of the stage once had flowed D A The fiddler, he now steps to the road D A He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed D A E7 On the back of the fish truck that loads While my conscience explodes A D E A The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain D A E7 A And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain. ------- Typed by Petter Larsson , larpe@nts.mh.se
