[Intro]

A G D D


[Verse]

A             G        D
Johanna drove slowly into the city 
A             G        D
The Hudson River all filled with snow 
A             G        D
She spied the ring on His Honor's finger 
A6  A Asus4
Oh-oh-oh 
A6  A Asus4

A             G        D
A thousand years in one piece of silver 
A             G        D
She took it from his lily-white hand 
A             G        D
Showed no fear - she'd seen the thing
A6  A Asus4 
In the Young Men's Wing at Sloan-Kettering 
A6  A Asus4


[Chorus]

D                                        G      D
(I usually hum the lead here, listen to the song and try it if you want)
D                                        G      D
Look outside at the raincoats coming, say OH


[Verse]

A             G        D
His Honor drove southward seeking exotica 
A             G        D
Down to the Pueblo huts of New Mexico 
A             G        D
Cut his teeth on turquoise harmonicas 
A6  A Asus4
Oh-oh-oh 
A6  A Asus4

A             G        D
I saw Johanna down in the subway
A             G        D 
She took an apartment in Washington Heights 
A             G        D
Half of the ring lies here with me 
A6  A Asus4
But the other half's at the bottom of the sea 
A6  A Asus4
