Biography:
Suzanne Vega (born Suzanne Nadine Vega on 11 July 1959 in Santa Monica, California) is an American singer-songwriter noted for her eclectic folk-inspired music. Two of Vega's songs (both from her second album Solitude Standing, 1987) reached the top 10 of various international chart listings: " Luka" and "Tom's Diner".
Though born in California, Vega has lived most of her life in New York City. There, she attended the High School of the Performing Arts (the school seen in the feature film musical Fame), where she studied modern dance.

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
