[Intro 1]
[D]
[G][Bm]
[A][D]

[Verse 1]
The [D]Mississippi Delta
was shining like a national guitar
[G]I am f[Bm]ollowing the river
down the highway
through the cradle of the [A]Civil War
I'm [G]going to [D]Graceland, Graceland,
Memphis, Tennessee,
[G]I'm going [D]to Graceland[C][G]
[D]Poor boys and pilgrims with families
[G]and we are going [D]to Graceland[C]
[G]My [D]traveling companion
is nine [G]years old,
he's [F]the child of [D]my first [C]marriage
[G]But I've [D]risen to believe
that we both will [G]be received
in grace [D]land[C][Em][D]
She comes back to tell me she's gone
[G]As if I didn't know that,
as if I didn't know my [Bm]own bed
As [A]if I'd never noticed
the way she brushed her
hair [D]from her forehead
And she said losing love
is like a window in your [G]heart
Everybody sees [Bm]you're
blown apart,
everybody sees [A]the wind blow
I'm [G]going to [D]Graceland,
Memphis, [G]Tennessee,
I'm going [D]to Graceland[C][G]
[D]Poor boys and pilgrims with families
and [G]we are going to [D]Graceland[C]
[G]And my [D]calico bag is roasting
empty socket[G]s,
I'm looking at coat[D]s a[C]nd empties
[G]But I've rea[D]son to believe
we all will be re[G]ceived
in [D]Graceland[C][D]
There is a girl in New York City
who calls herself a human [G]trampoline
Some[Bm]times when I'm falling, flying,
tumbling in turmoil, I say, [A]whoa,
so this is what she means
She means we're bouncing
into [D]Graceland
And I see you losing love,
it's like a window in [G]your heart
Well, everybody sees
[Bm]your blown apart
Everybody [A]feels the wind blow
Ooh, [D]in Graceland, in Graceland
[G]I'm going to [D]Graceland
[C]For reas[G]ons I [D]cannot explain
There's some part of
[G]me wants to see [D]Graceland
[C]An [G]d I'm maybe obl[D]iged to defend every love,
every ending
[G]Or maybe there's [D]no
obligations [C]now
[G]Maybe I'm [D]a reason to believe
that we all will be re[G]ceiving
Christ[D]mas[C][D][G]
[Bm][A]
[D]In Graceland, in Graceland,
in Graceland
I'm going [C]to Graceland[G]
[D][G][D][C][D][G][D]
[G][D]
You
