Biography:
Richard Shindell (born 3 August 1960, Lakehurst, New Jersey) is an American folk singer. While dividing his time between Buenos Aires, Argentina, and New York's Hudson Valley, Shindell is a writer whose songs paint pictures, tell stories, and juxtapose ideas and images.
Shindell's songwriting often involves storytelling from a first-person point of view: for example, from an INS officer and illegal immigrant in "Fishing", to a World War II soldier in "Sparrows Point"

Capo 2
For the strum pattern, I strum down once on the chord and then let it ring until
changing to the next chord where I'll do an DDU and before the down of the next chord.
[Intro] G D Em C G D C C
G D
I saw them standing in the rain
Em C
Out on Seventh Avenue
G D C C
He held her close, like she might fall if he let go
G D
He helped her in, he shut the door
Em C
And our eyes met in the mirror
G D G C G
"To Englewood, just take it slow" is all he said
C Em
And into the stream we pulled away
D C
I know it well, this old ballet
C Em
Finding the flow, minding the sway
G C C
Catching green lights all the way
G D
Up Amsterdam, the meter dark
Em C
I turned off the radio
G D C C
She whispered "Thanks, I could not bear another word."
G D
Out on the bridge, the traffic slowed
Em C
The brake lights and the wash
G D G C G
Of all those truckers heading south on ninety-five
C Em
And across the span we pulled away
D C
I know it well, this old ballet
C Em
Finding the flow, minding the sway
G C C
Catching green lights all the way
D
And I brought them home
Em C
I brought them home
G D G D C C
I brought them home in that cruel, cruel rain
[Bridge]
G D
And now it's spring, and where's the rain
Em C
All the wells are running dry
G D C C
And the reservoirs have reached an all-time low
G D
And if this red light ever turns
Em C
If I can make it through the park
G D G C G
I'll head uptown for the last fare of the day
C Em
And turn it does, I pull away
D C
I know it well, this old ballet
C Em
Finding the flow, minding the sway
G C C
Catching green lights all the way
G D
And there they are, outside St. Luke's
Em C
With their flowers and balloons
G D C C
All amazement at the baby in her arms
G D
As Amsterdam makes us a place
Em C
I ask about her name
G D G C G
And we all laugh when he says Hope and she says Grace
C Em
And then it starts, the heavens give
D C
I know it well, this old ballet
C Em
Finding the flow, minding the sway
G C C
Catching green lights all the way
D
I brought them home
Em C
I brought them home
G D Em C
I brought them home in that sweet, sweet rain
G D G C G
I brought them home in that sweet, sweet rain
