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

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