[Monologue]
A E Bm E (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."
A E Bm E
