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"

Richard Shindell - Beyond The Iron Gate
## NOTE: ~ = walk-down between C and Am ##
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: C G (2x) C
G C
First warm day in all these months
G F
All the sunlight made me drunk
C
Made me feel like I could run
G C
Made me feel like I was young
G C
So I went out all on my own
G F
I told no one where I'd go
C
Anyway I did not know
G F
I only knew I had to go
CHORUS:
C ~ Am
Out beyond the iron gate
F G C
Out there where you said you'd wait
INTERLUDE: C G (2x) C
G C
I'd gotten used to living here
G F
Call it habit, call it fear
C
Though I had glanced your way for years
G C
Until today, I'd never dared
G C
But it was easy slipping through
G F
Easy as the morning dew
C
That lingers 'til the afternoon
G F
And rises back into the blue
CHORUS:
C ~ Am
Out beyond the iron gate
F G C
Out there where you said you'd wait
INSTRUMENTAL: C G (4x) F C G C
G C
There you were right by my side
G F
Reaching down to lift me high
C
I held on with all my might
G F
Held onto a world made right
CHORUS:
C ~ Am
Out beyond the iron gate
F G C
Out there where you said you'd wait
INTERLUDE: C G (2x) C
G C
I heard the voices all around
G F
Someone lifted off the shroud
C
I saw my children gather 'round
G F
And I will tell them what I've found
CHORUS:
C ~ Am
Out beyond the iron gate
F G C
Out there where you said you'd wait
OUTRO: C G C G F C G C (3x - fade to end)
