Verse
E A E
Mona's buying milk and honey from the summer bins in Milford Market.
E C#m
Outside the door at six, the green bulb clicks,
A
On.
E A E
I work nine to five around the hiss of the ice box compartment,
C#m F#maj A E
When I punch out I want to set the night to bitter flames a-lickin'
C#m F#maj A E
The town and all the passion strickened down.
[CHORUS]
A E B F#m
And Emmy's twenty years removed now, from that morning in July,
A E
When her father held her in his arms.
A E B F#m
And dipped her freckled neck down' 'neath the river water as flies,
A F#
Were darkening the brightness
A F#
And all of the baptismal whiteness
A F#
But darlin' all those of our likeness
A
Were born so very ready to live.
E
And to die.
[VERSE]
E
I know my way through the neighborhoods
A E
From Mona's house to the interstate.
E C#m A
I know my way to the greatest things we got
E
The travelin' acts they leave their sounds
A E
For railroad tracks in other towns,
C# F#maj
But I want to hold to something longer
A E
Something meaner, something stronger
C# F#maj A E
At eleven thirty the town's alone, again.
[CHORUS]
A E
And Emmy used to say she loved me,
B F#m
Used to be oh so proud of me,
A E
When she saw her father in my eyes.
A E B F#m
When I dipped her golden head down 'neath the river water swimmin',
A F#
The pine shine all was dimmin'
A F#
The kitchen panes were pitch-dark within
A F#
And I thought we were only kidding till
A
Your father cried.
E

[VERSE]
E A E
Mona, you're my only friend, we could take the interstate;
E C# A
Though you know the interstate deadends.
E
Will it lead us to the milk and honey,
A E
Is the Promised Land just a funny
C# F#maj A E
Way to say the strangeness never ceases?
C# F#maj A E
'Cause Emmy, you have baptized me to pieces.
