[Verse 1]
D Well I met the queen of Iowa D She was dying on a couch in the suburbs D And with all of the things she was dying of D She was more alive than the others
[Prechorus]
G She was pretty as a flower in a crystal vase D It lights up the room as it withers away G She opened her eyes D When she heard the music play
[Chorus]
G We sang a hymn to the rhythm of the river that flows D Down from the mountain of the Holy Ghost G Into the souls D Of those who know His name G D Like the Queen of Iowa G She was the Queen of Iowa
[Instrumental]
Bm A G Em A D
[Verse 2]
D Her majesty was all ablaze D She was burning hot but not consumed D Our shoes removed in that holy place D In the hallowed ground of the living room
[Prechorus]
G Well I bowed down low and I kissed her hand D And we raised a toast to the Promised Land G I saw the tears of joy D Run down her face
[Chorus]
G We sang a hymn to the rhythm of the river that flows D Down from the mountain of the Holy Ghost G Into the souls D Of those who know His name G D Like the Queen of Iowa G She was the Queen of Iowa
[Bridge]
A I could see my illusions scatter Bm Every time she drew a breath A I could see the heart of the matter: G The heart is a matter of life and death D Well I'll never be the same

[Verse 3]
D Well we sang about oceans of love again D As she stared past the ceiling and the sky above D Two court musicians, it was me and Ben D We were singing for the Queen of Iowa
[Chorus]
G We sang a hymn to the rhythm of the river that flows D Down from the mountain of the Holy Ghost G Into the souls D Of those who know His name G There was peace like a river in a valley of bones D It fills the valley up and it carries them home G To come alive again D In the river of Grace G D Like the Queen of Iowa G D She was the Queen of Iowa G D Long live the Queen of Iowa G D She was the Queen of Iowa
