         Am (x02210@1)                   Am7 (x02010@1) In the ironbound section near Avenue L
            F (133211@1)                      Fadd9 (135211@1) Where the Portuguese women come to see what you sell
       Am (x02210@1)             Am7 (x02010@1) The clouds so low the morning so slow
         F (133211@1)                   Fadd9 (135211@1)  As the wires cut through the sky


VERSE 2:
      Am (x02210@1)                      Am7 (x02010@1) The beams and bridges cut the light on the ground
       F (133211@1)                      Fadd9 (135211@1) Into little triangles and the rails run round
              Am (x02210@1)                  Am7 (x02010@1) Through the rust and the heat the light and sweet
          F (133211@1)            Fadd9 (135211@1) Coffee    color of her skin


CHORUS 1:
  Em (022000@1)            F (133211@1)      Em (022000@1)     Bound up in wire and fate
               F (133211@1)                Em (022000@1) Watching her walk him up to the gate
                  F (133211@1) In front of the ironbound school yard


VERSE 3:
  Am (x02210@1)                Am7 (x02010@1) Kids will grow like weeds on a fence
                F (133211@1)                     Fadd9 (135211@1) She says they look for the light they try to make sense
       Am (x02210@1)                             Am7 (x02010@1) They come up through the cracks, like grass on the tracks
  F (133211@1)                   Fadd9 (135211@1)   She touches him goodbye


CHORUS 2:
  Em (022000@1)             F (133211@1)               Em (022000@1)    Steps off the curb and into the street
                F (133211@1)               Em (022000@1) The blood and feathers near her feet
           F (133211@1) Into the ironbound market

            F (133211@1)            Em (022000@1) Opens her purse, feels a longing
