Tone: [Bb]
Intro:
[Bb] [F] [Gm] [Eb] [Bb] [F] [Bb] [Eb] [Bb]
I’ve never had a [F]way with [Gm]women
But the [Eb]hills of Iowa[Bb]Iowa make me [F]wish that I [Bb]could [Eb] [Bb]
And I’ve never found a [F]way to say I [Gm]love you
But [Eb]if the chance came [Bb]by, oh [F]I, I [Bb]would [Eb] [Bb]
But way [Gm]back where I come from, we [Eb]never mean to [Bb]bother
We don’t [Eb]like to make our [Cm]passions other [F]peoples' concern
And we [Bb]walk in the [F]world of safe [Gm]people
And at [Eb]night we walk in[Bb]into our [F]houses and [Bb]burn [Eb] [Bb]
Chorus:
Iowa, oh [F]ooh
Io[Gm]Iowa, oh, [Eb]oooh, ooh, [Bb]oh, I[F]-Io[Bb]wa [Eb] [Bb]
Iowa, oh [F]ooh
Io[Gm]Iowa, oh, [Eb]oooh, ooh, [Bb]oh, I[F]-Io[Bb]wa [Eb] [Bb]
How I long to [F]fall just a little bit[Gm]bit
To [Eb]dance out of the [Bb]lines and [F]stray from the [Bb]light [Eb] [Bb]
But I fear that to [F]fall in love with [Gm]you
Is to [Eb]fall from a [Bb]great and [F]gruesome [Bb]height [Eb] [Bb]
So you know, I [Gm]asked a friend about it, on a [Eb]bad day
Her husband had just [Cm]left her
She sat down on the [F]chair he left behind
She said,[Bb]said, "What is [F]love, where did it [Gm]get me?"
"Who[Eb]"Whoever thought of [Bb]love is [F]no friend of [Bb]mine" [Eb] [Bb]
Chorus:
Iowa, oh [F]ooh
Io[Gm]Iowa, oh, [Eb]oooh, ooh, [Bb]oh, I[F]-Io[Bb]wa [Eb] [Bb]
Iowa, oh [F]ooh
Io[Gm]Iowa, oh, [Eb]oooh, ooh, [Bb]oh, I[F]-Io[Bb]wa [Eb] [Bb]
Interlude:
[Bb] [F] [Gm] [Eb] [Bb] [F] [Bb] [Eb] [Bb]
Once I had every[F]everything, I gave it up[Gm]up
For the [Eb]shoulder of your [Bb]
driveway and the [F]words I’ve never [Bb]felt [Eb] [Bb]
And so for you, I came this [F]far across the [Gm]tracks
Ten [Eb]miles above the [Bb]limit, and with [F]no seat[Bb]seatbelt, and I’d do it again
For to[Gm]tonight I went running through the [Eb]screen doors of dis[Bb]discretion
For I [Cm]woke up from a nightmare that I c[F]could not stand to see [Eb]
You were a-wandering out [Bb]on the [Bb]hills of [Gm]Iowa
And [Eb]you were not [Cm]thinking of [F]me
Bridge:
Oh, ooh, oh, [Bb]ooh
I-[F]I-I-[Gm]I, I-[Eb]I-I-[Bb]I-I-[F]I, Io[Bb]wa [Eb] [Bb]
Chorus:
Iowa, oh [F]ooh
Io[Gm]Iowa, oh, [Eb]oooh, ooh, [Bb]oh, I[F]-Io[Bb]wa [Eb] [Bb]
Iowa, oh [F]ooh
Io[Gm]Iowa, oh, [Eb]oooh, ooh, [Bb]oh, I[F]-Io[Bb]wa [Eb] [Bb]
Chorus:
Iowa, oh [F]ooh
Io[Gm]Iowa, oh, [Eb]oooh, ooh, [Bb]oh, I[F]-Io[Bb]wa [Eb] [Bb]
Iowa, oh [F]ooh
Io[Gm]Iowa, oh, [Eb]oooh, ooh, [Bb]oh, I[F]-Io[Bb]wa [Eb] [Bb]
