Steve Brooks - Iowa Wind




INTRO: D  G  D    G  D   C   G6   D  G  D

N.C.   D           G       D
He was born by the Eastern sea
                       G       D
Went to school, and he got a degree
       C                      G6
Headed west on a prayer and a thumb
        D         G       D
Looking out for a kingdom come

                         G       D
Climbed the mountains in old Cheyenne
                       G   D
Dipped his feet in the Rio Grande
      C                   G6
Never found him a next of kin
        D            G    D
'Til he ran into the Iowa wind
     Am   G  C
Iowa wind
N.C. D     G  D
Iowa wind


N.C.    D         G     D
Went to work as a hired hand
                      G        D
Planting seeds in the promised land
         C                   G6
From the seat of an old John Deere
            D             G      D
Fields were smiling, from ear to ear


                   G        D
Later on, when the work was done
                    G       D
Saddled up with the setting sun
             C                G6
Squeezed his pony between his shins
           D             G    D
And they'd ride like the Iowa wind


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


INSTRUMENTAL: D      C  G  D


N.C.  D               G        D
Seven years, they had come and gone
                      G        D
Had a spread he could call his own
         C                     G6
Felt the breeze blowing at his back
         D            C      G      D
Till the day that the clouds turned black


N.C.        D        G      D
Watched the sky open up its jaws
                  G        D
Spitting out only piles of straw
    C                      G6
Up above, heard the circle spin
        D          G    D
Lost it all to the Iowa wind
     Am   G  C
Iowa wind
N.C. D      Am C  G  D
Iowa wind


N.C.   D         G      D
Now he sits by a window screen
                  G       D
Looking out on an endless green
      C                   G6
Every year he was laid to waste
       D           G         D
Wore a line in his weathered face


                    G        D
If you ask, you can hear him say
                       G     D
?What it gives, it can take away?
       C                      G6
All he found at his rainbow's end
        D            G    D
Was the sound of the Iowa wind


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