Dylan started his musical odyssey in 1959 when he began playing in Dinkytown, Minneapolis while attending the University of Minnesota.

Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

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
