INTRO:
Am Am7
F Fadd9
VERSE 1:
Am Am7
In the ironbound section near Avenue L
F Fadd9
Where the Portuguese women come to see what you sell
Am Am7
The clouds so low the morning so slow
F Fadd9
As the wires cut through the sky
VERSE 2:
Am Am7
The beams and bridges cut the light on the ground
F Fadd9
Into little triangles and the rails run round
Am Am7
Through the rust and the heat the light and sweet
F Fadd9
Coffee color of her skin
CHORUS 1:
Em F Em
Bound up in wire and fate
F Em
Watching her walk him up to the gate
F
In front of the ironbound school yard
VERSE 3:
Am Am7
Kids will grow like weeds on a fence
F Fadd9
She says they look for the light they try to make sense
Am Am7
They come up through the cracks, like grass on the tracks

The blood and feathers near her feet

Into the ironbound market

VERSE 4:

In the ironbound section near Avenue L

Opens her purse, feels a longing

Away from the ironbound border
