Iowa Dar Williams
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)
[G]Iā??ve never ha[D]d a way with [Em]women,
but the h[C]ills of Iowa[G] make me wi[D]sh that I c[G]ould,
[G]And Iā??ve never found[D] a way to say I l[Em]ove you,
but [C]if the chance ca[G]me by, o[D]h I, I [G]would,
But way b[Em]ack where I come from, we ne[C]ver mean to bo[G]ther,
We donā??t[Am] like to make our passions other p[D]eoples concern,
And we w[G]alk in the w[D]orld of safe pe[Em]ople,
and at ni[C]ght we walk i[G]nto our hou[D]ses and b[G]urn.
[G]Io[D]wa[Em] oh ooo
[C]oh, [G]iowa [D]oh[G] 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 Iā??ve never felt.
And so for you, I came this far across the tracks,
ten miles above the limit, and with no seatbelt, and Iā??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
