Intro: E A Dbm B   E


The Mississippi Delta was shining
                   A
Like a National guitar
     Dbm
I am following the river

Down the highway
                                B
Through the cradle of the civil war


A            E
I'm going to Graceland

Graceland
                 B
In Memphis Tennessee
    A        E         E D A
I'm going to Graceland


E
Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
    B      A        E        E D A
And we are going to Graceland
   E                                 B
My traveling companion is nine years old
A         E                         E D A
He is the child of my first marriage
         E
But I've reason to believe
   B              A
We both will be received
   E         E D A
In Graceland

E

She comes back to tell me she's gone
   A
As if I didn't know that
                           Dbm
As if I didn't know my own bed
   B
As if I'd never noticed
                                      E
The way she brushed her hair from her forehead

And she said losing love
                         A
Is like a window in your heart
                      Dbm     A
Everybody sees you're blown apart
                   B
Everybody sees the wind blow


    A        E
I'm going to Graceland
              B
Memphis Tennessee
    A        E         E D A
I'm going to Graceland
E
Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
    B      A        E         E D A
And we are going to Graceland


       E
And my traveling companions
                     A
Are ghosts and empty sockets
                          E       E D A
I'm looking at ghosts and empties
         E
But I've reason to believe
   B             A
We all will be received
   E        E D A
In Graceland

E

There is a girl in New York City
                                  A
Who calls herself the human trampoline
    Dbm
And sometimes when I'm falling, flying

Or tumbling in turmoil I say
B
WOh, so this is what she means
                E
She means we're bouncing into Graceland

And I see losing love
                         A
Is like a window in your heart
                      Dbm
Everybody sees you're blown apart
                    B
Everybody feels the wind blow


        E                      E D A
Oooo in Graceland, in Graceland
             E        E D A
I'm going to Graceland
              E
For reasons I cannot explain
                        B        A
There's some part of me wants to see
E        E D A
Graceland


               E
And I may be obliged to defend
                  A
Every love, every ending
                 E                  E D A
Or maybe there's no obligations now
             E
Maybe I've a reason to believe
   B             A
We all will be received
   E         E D A
In Graceland
