verse 1 

F Dm        C  F       Dm                   C 
Fifteen keys,  fifteen keys hang on a chain 
    F Dm            C    F        Dm                      C 
The chain is joined, the chain is joined and forms a ring 
    F Dm       C    F       Dm                C        
The ring is in, the ring is in a woman's hand 
      F Dm       C      F       Dm                  C      
She's walking on, she's walking on the dusty ground 


          D                   G 
The dusty ground's a dead-end track 
              A               Bm 
The neighbors won't be coming back 
        D           G 
Fifteen gardens overgrown 
        A              Bm 
Fifteen houses falling down

F Dm    C 
    F Dm        C    F       Dm                       C 
The woman's old, the woman's old and dressed in black 
    F Dm            C    F         Dm                    C 
She keeps her hands, she keeps her hands behind her back 
    F Dm     C   F    Dm                      C 
Imagine what, imagine what her eyes have seen 
   F Dm        C   F       Dm                  C 
We ask but she, we ask but she won't let us in 


         D             G 
A key so simple and so small 
           A                 Bm 
How can it mean no chance at all? 
         D             G 
A key, a promise, or a wish 
           A                 Bm 
How can it mean such hopelessness?
