Key: D
Introduction: D G Bm A D
D
The Mississippi Delta was shining
G
Like a National guitar
Bm
I am following the river
Down the highway
A
Through the cradle of the civil war
G D
I' m going to Graceland
Graceland
A
In Memphis Tennessee
G D C G
I' m going to Graceland
D
Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
A G D C G
And we are going to Graceland
D A
My traveling companion is nine years old
G D C G
He is the child of my first marriage
D
But I' ve reason to believe
A G
We both will be received
D C G
In Graceland
D
D
She comes back to tell me she' s gone
G
As if I didn' t know that
Bm
As if I didn' t know my own bed
A
As if I' d never noticed
D
The way she brushed her hair from her forehead
And she said losing love
G
Is like a window in your heart
Bm G
Everybody sees you' re blown apart
A
Everybody sees the wind blow
G D
I' m going to Graceland
A
Memphis Tennessee
G D C G
I' m going to Graceland
D
Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
A G D C G
And we are going to Graceland
D
And my traveling companions
G
Are ghosts and empty sockets
D C G
I' m looking at ghosts and empties
D
But I' ve reason to believe
A G

D C G
In Graceland
D
D
There is a girl in New York City
G
Who calls herself the human trampoline
Bm
And sometimes when I' m falling, flying
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
A
WOh, so this is what she means
D
She means we' re bouncing into Graceland
And I see losing love
G
Is like a window in your heart
Bm
Everybody sees you' re blown apart
A
Everybody feels the wind blow
D C G
Oooo in Graceland, in Graceland
D C G
I' m going to Graceland
D
For reasons I cannot explain
A G
There' s some part of me wants to see
D C G
Graceland
D
And I may be obliged to defend
G
Every love, every ending
D C G
Or maybe there' s no obligations now
D
Maybe I' ve a reason to believe
A G
We all will be received
D C G
In Graceland
