Intro: Bb G7 Cm7 F7 By Dave Hearn & Shadric Smith

Bb Dm Gm Bb Bdim Cm7 F7

1. I fell in love with an Iowa girl, and she fell in love with me

Cm7 F7 Cm7 F7 Cm7 C#dim Bb F7

We met at a dance in an Iowa town, like it's supposed to be...

Bb Dm Gm Bb7 Eb

We danced to the fiddles from dusk until dawn....since then we've not been apart....

Cm7 C#dim Bb G7 C7 Cm7 F7

Because the band played that one special song...and she waltzed away with my heart.

Bb Bdim Cm7 F7 Cm7 F7 Bb

The Old Iowa Waltz...........that was a moment I'll never forget

Bb Bdim Cm7 F7 Cm7 F7 Cm7 F7 Cm7 F7 Bb

The Old Iowa Waltz...........brings back the feelings I have for you yet...The Old Iowa Waltz.

REPEAT INTRO Bb G7 Cm7 F7

2. The moon was as bright as a lantern that night, the breeze so cool in our hair

We swayed to the music, our feet were so light, we thought we were waltzing on air...

Into the shadows we slipped for a kiss, stars shining down from above

We felt the earth moving under our feet, and knew we were falling in love....

REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE:

Gm Baug/F# Bb/F Edim

And when I'm away from the state that I love, I know wherever I roam

Ebm Bbm C7 Eb/F F7

I'll always remember the Iowa Waltz...and my beautiful Iowa home REPEAT CHORUS
