[Verse 1]
Well DI met the queen of Iowa
She was dDying on a couch in the suburbs
And with aDll of the things she was dying of
She was Dmore alive than the others
[Prechorus]
She was Gpretty as a flower in a crystal vase
It Dlights up the room as it withers away
She Gopened her eyes
When she Dheard the music play
[Chorus]
We sang a Ghymn to the rhythm of the river that flows
DDown from the mountain of the Holy Ghost
GInto the souls
Of those who know His name D
Like the Queen of IGowa D
She was the Queen of GIowa
[Instrumental]
Bm A G Em A D
[Verse 2]
Her Dmajesty was all ablaze
She was Dburning hot but not consumed
Our Dshoes removed in that holy place
In the Dhallowed ground of the living room
[Prechorus]
Well I Gbowed down low and I kissed her hand
And we Draised a toast to the Promised Land
GI saw the tears of joy
Run down her faceD
[Chorus]
We sang a Ghymn to the rhythm of the river that flows
DDown from the mountain of the Holy Ghost
GInto the souls
Of those who know His name D
Like the Queen of IGowa D
She was the Queen of GIowa
[Bridge]
AI could see my illusions scatter
BmEvery time she drew a breath
AI could see the heart of the matter:
The Gheart is a matter of life and death
Well I'll never be the same D

[Verse 3]
Well we sDang about oceans of love again
As she Dstared past the ceiling and the sky above
Two Dcourt musicians, it was me and Ben
We were Dsinging for the Queen of Iowa
[Chorus]
We sang a Ghymn to the rhythm of the river that flows
DDown from the mountain of the Holy Ghost
GInto the souls
Of those who know His name D
There was Gpeace like a river in a valley of bones
It fDills the valley up and it carries them home
To Gcome alive again
In the river of DGrace
Like the Queen of GIowa D
She was the Queen of IGowa D
Long live the Queen of GIowaD
She was the Queen of IGowa D
