Therefore two consecutive<br/> chords denotes a full measure of 4/4. There are some places<br/> where Dar wrote measures of 6/4. Verse two uses the same progression as in<br/> verse one, and there is a slight change in verse three. The<br/> style changes back and forth from strumming and finger picking, refer to<br/> the cd (on the Grapevine Label).<br/> <br/> Intro: A E F#m D A E A A A<br/> <br/> A E F#m D A<br/> E A A<br/> I've never had a way with women, but the hills of Iowa make me wish that I<br/> could,<br/> A E F#m D<br/> A E A A A<br/> And I've never found a way to say I love you, but if the chance came by, oh<br/> I , I would,<br/> F#m F#m D A<br/> But way back where I come from, we never mean to bother,<br/> Bm Bm E E<br/> We don't like to make our passions other people's concern,<br/> A E F#m D<br/> A E A A<br/> And we walk in the world of safe people, and at night we walk into our<br/> houses and burn.<br/> A E F#m D A E A A<br/> Iowa oh oo oh, Iowa oh ooooh ooo oh I-Iowa (2X)<br/> <br/> <br/> How I long to fall just a little bit, to dance out of the lines and stray<br/> from the light,<br/> But I fear that to fall in love with you is to fall from a great and<br/> greusome height.<br/> So I asked a friend about it, on a bad day, her husband had just left her,<br/> She sat down on the chair he left behind, she said,<br/> "What is love, where did it get me?
