         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

  F                     Fadd9
    She touches him goodbye
CHORUS 2:
  Em               F                 Em
     Steps off the curb and into the street

                F                 Em
  The blood and feathers near her feet

           F
  Into the ironbound market
INTERLUDE: Am C G C VERSE 4:
         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
CHORUS 3:
  Em                  F                  Em
     She stops at the stall, fingers the ring

            F              Em
  Opens her purse, feels a longing

                F
  Away from the ironbound border
