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
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
INTERLUDE:
Am C G C (play 4x)
FINALE (play 2x):
A A7sus2 A A7sus2
Fancy poulty parts sold here
F G9 F G9
Breasts and thighs and hearts
Cm7 F F6
Backs are cheap and wings are nearly
AND CONTINUE (play 4x):
A A7sus2 A A7sus2
free, nearly
F G9 F G9
free, nearly
REPEAT AND FADE TO END:
A A7sus2 A A7sus2
F G9 F G9

Great work. I just LOVE the part where the F goes to Em at the start of the chorus.
