    "Perhaps you could confirm my interpretation:"

    Erm, I could try. It will be a good exercise for my sight-reading!

    The notation in each bar is as follows (a slash denotes two or three notes played together):

    Am9(no 3rd): A, E, G/B
    Fadd#4: F, C, F/A/B
    Fsus2add#4: F, C, A/G/B

    So looks like you were pretty much right. I'm at the beginning of my sight-reading career and am starting to understand chord theory ever so slightly. I'm sure it will make a great deal of difference to my guitar playing, and I'll enjoy not having to rely on tablature. Plus of course sight reading will enable me eventually to learn pieces in altered tunings too, should I so desire!

    If you want me to figure out anything else, let me know and I'll see what I can do!

    Cheers,
    Cams

    I am afraid, I do not understand many expressions in this song. But something really worries me here. This is a perfect song about alienation to me. Two people, two worlds, with no way of communication, of expressing what we really feel. Some kind of secret life. Observer, who sells hearts and wings couldn't know that the woman is longing. And that ironbound market is a place where anonymous people sell and buy their hearts and wings, but who really cares what is inside. Sometimes things stay unspoken, because there is no need to talk, no place, no time, no way. But maybe this is the most interesting what is unspoken, what is beyond. This song has a lot in common with Tom's Dinner to me.
