Steve Brooks - Iowa Wind



INTRO: D MajorD G+G D MajorD  G+G D MajorD  C majorC  G6G6  D MajorD G+G D MajorD

N.C.  D MajorD      G+G    D MajorD
He was born by the Eastern sea
            G+G    D MajorD
Went to school, and he got a degree
    C majorC           G6G6
Headed west on a prayer and a thumb
    D MajorD     G+G    D MajorD
Looking out for a kingdom come

             G+G    D MajorD
Climbed the mountains in old Cheyenne
            G+G  D MajorD
Dipped his feet in the Rio Grande
   C majorC          G6G6
Never found him a next of kin
    D MajorD      G+G  D MajorD
'Til he ran into the Iowa wind
   A minorAm  G+G C majorC
Iowa wind
N.C. D MajorD   G+G D MajorD
Iowa wind


N.C.  D MajorD     G+G   D MajorD
Went to work as a hired hand
           G+G    D MajorD
Planting seeds in the promised land
     C majorC          G6G6
From the seat of an old John Deere
      D MajorD       G+G   D MajorD
Fields were smiling, from ear to ear


          G+G    D MajorD
Later on, when the work was done
          G+G    D MajorD
Saddled up with the setting sun
       C majorC        G6G6
Squeezed his pony between his shins
      D MajorD       G+G  D MajorD
And they'd ride like the Iowa wind

CHORUS:
     C majorC      G+G  D MajorD
Heard the voice in the Iowa corn
        C majorC      G+G   D MajorD
Like a million babes crying to be born
    C majorC   G+G     D MajorD
He was born again and again
      A minorAm G+G C majorC
Washing his face___
N.C.    D MajorD   G+G D MajorD
In the Iowa wind


INSTRUMENTAL: D MajorD   C majorC G+G D MajorD


N.C. D MajorD        G+G    D MajorD
Seven years, they had come and gone
           G+G    D MajorD
Had a spread he could call his own
     C majorC           G6G6
Felt the breeze blowing at his back
     D MajorD      C majorC   G+G   D MajorD
Till the day that the clouds turned black


N.C.    D MajorD    G+G   D MajorD
Watched the sky open up its jaws
         G+G    D MajorD
Spitting out only piles of straw
  C majorC           G6G6
Up above, heard the circle spin
    D MajorD     G+G  D MajorD
Lost it all to the Iowa wind
   A minorAm  G+G C majorC
Iowa wind
N.C. D MajorD   A minorAm C majorC G+G D MajorD
Iowa wind


N.C.  D MajorD     G+G   D MajorD
Now he sits by a window screen
         G+G    D MajorD
Looking out on an endless green
   C majorC          G6G6
Every year he was laid to waste
    D MajorD      G+G     D MajorD
Wore a line in his weathered face


          G+G    D MajorD
If you ask, you can hear him say
            G+G   D MajorD
?What it gives, it can take away?
    C majorC           G6G6
All he found at his rainbow's end
    D MajorD      G+G  D MajorD
Was the sound of the Iowa wind


CHORUS:
     C majorC      G+G  D MajorD
Heard the voice in the Iowa corn
        C majorC      G+G   D MajorD
Like a million babes crying to be born
      C majorC   G+G     D MajorD
And he was born again and again
      C majorC      G+G  D MajorD
Washing his face in the Iowa wind
       C majorC   G+G     D MajorD
And he'll be born again and again
          A minorAm  G+G C majorC
As he prays to the name
N.C.    D MajorD
Of the Iowa wind
   A minorAm  G+G C majorC
Iowa wind
   D MajorD  G+G D MajorD
Iowa wind
     G+G D MajorD
Iowa wind
      G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD
