Monologue:
A augmentedA E MajorE B minorBm E MajorE (x14 underneath monologue)

In Iowa, in the tall grass, there'??s a couple
She'??s very young and he's a young preacher
And every day they would go out
To the fields where nothing is planted
And lie in the tall grass
But one day he called her into the sanctuary
And he said
"??Kate, I'??ve been touched by the Lord;
I don'??t need you any more."
And she didn'??t know what to think
But she loved the Lord
So she just leaned back in the pew
And thought about the tall grass and said
"??Reverend,"?? she said, "??Reverend,"
"Reverend, the only reason I did it is to find out what it'??s like."

Verse 1:
F# minorF#m A augmentedA      E MajorE
Oh, give me the truth to me
  B minorBm     E MajorE
And tell me of what I see

An answer for me

I  feel like I ache all over
B minorBm    E MajorE
Inside my heart is so, so
A augmentedA     E MajorE

Oh is this what love'??s supposed to be?

Chorus:
  A augmentedA         E MajorE
But I, I'??m not one to gamble

And I don'??t need to scramble

I didn'??t know that love would strike me

This is what it'??s like

On  Sunday I read somewhere
   B minorBm     E MajorE
That real love is heart and soul
     A augmentedA  E MajorE F# minorF#m
Yeah, but only a master
   B minorBm   E MajorE
could understand that
F# minorF#m A augmentedA       E MajorE
I  left that old magazine
  B minorBm      E MajorE
and walked out into the green
  A augmentedA    E MajorE         F# minorF#m
of summer, I felt like I could cry
          B minorBm
But in the grass I only sat

Well I, I?'m not one to gamble

This is what it'??s like
