Iowa (Traveling III)
written by Dar Williams from "Mortal City"

Chords:
A:  (x02220)
E   (022100)
F#m (2442xx)
D   (xx0232)
Bm  (x2443x)

Capo- 2nd fret  (so technically the song is in the key of B)
notes:  each chord marking represents two beats.  Therefore two consecutive
chords denotes a full measure of 4/4.

There are some places where Dar wrote measures of 6/4.  Verse two uses
the same progression as in verse one, and there is a slight change in
verse three.  The style changes back and forth from strumming and finger
picking, refer to the cd (on the Grapevine Label).
