This was pretty much the first song I ever learned, its pretty simple.
I wrote out how to play the first verse, pre-chorus and chorus,
and from there the chords are pretty much the same for the whole song.
Have fun!
[CAPO 3]
GI've never had Da way with woEmmen,
but the hCills of IowaG make me wiDsh that I cGould,
GAnd I've never found aD way to say I lovEme you,
but Cif the chance caGme by, oDh I, I Gwould,
But way bEmack where I come from, we neCver mean to boGther,
We don't lAmike to make our passions other peoDples concern,
And we wGalk in the wDorld of safe peEmople,
and at niCght we walk iGnto our houDses and bGurn.
GIoDwaEm oh ooo
Coh, Giowa DohG ooooh ooo oh i-iowa
How I long to fall just a little bit,
to dance out of the lines and stray from the light,
But I fear that to fall in love with you
is to fall from a great and gruesome height.
So I asked a friend about it, on a bad day,
her husband had just left her,
She sat down on the chair he left behind, she said,
"what is love, where did it get me'
whoever thought of love is no friend of mine."
Iowa oh ooo oh, iowa oh ooooh ooo oh i-iowa
Once I had everything, I gave it up
for the shoulder of your driveway and the words I've never felt.
And so for you, I came this far across the tracks,
ten miles above the limit, and with no seatbelt, and I'd do it again,
For tonight I went running through the screen doors of discretion,
For I woke up from a nightmare that I could not stand to see,
You were a-wandering out on the hills of iowa and you were not thinking of me.
Iowa oh ooo oh, iowa oh ooooh ooo oh i-iowa
Iowa oh ooo oh, iowa oh ooooh ooo oh i-iowa
