[E]
[E] The Mississippi Delta was shining like a national [A] guitar
I [C#m] am following the river down the highway through the cradle of [B] the Civil War
[G] I'm [E] on Graceland, Graceland, in the Memphis, [F#m] Tennessee, I'm [E] on Graceland
[D] [A] [E]
Poor boys and girls, the [F#m] families, we are [G#m] going Graceland
[E] I'm [D] [A]
[E] not traveling from Fannie, [G] honey's [C#m] nine years [G] old, he's [E] a child of my first marriage
[D] [E]
But I've risen to believe we both [A] will be [Em] received in [E] Graceland
She [F#m] [E]
[A] comes [E] back to tell me she's gone
As [A]
if I didn't know that, as if I didn't know [C#m] my own bed
As [B] if I'd never noticed the way she brushed her [E] hair and her forehead
And she said, losing love is like a wound on your [A] heart
Everybody [C#m]
sees you're blown apart
Everybody [B] sees the wind blow
I'm [Em] going [E] to Graceland, [A] Memphis, Tennessee, [G] I'm going [G#m] to Graceland
[E] Poor [F#m] [G]
[E] boys and girls, the families, [A] we [E] are going to Graceland
I'm [D] [G]
[E] not traveling from Fannie, there's ghosts in empty [C#] sockets, [G] I'm looking [E] at ghosts in empties
[D] [F#m] [E] But I've risen to believe we all [C#m] will be [E] received in Graceland
There [D] [E]
is a girl in New York City who calls herself a human [A] trampoline
[C#m]
Sometimes when I'm falling, flying, or tumbling in turmoil, [B] I say, whoa, so this is what she means
She means we're bouncing [E] into Graceland
And I see losing love is like a window in [A] your heart
Everybody sees [C#m] you're blown apart
Everybody [B] feels the wind blow
Ooh, [G]
[E] I'm going to Graceland, Graceland
[F#m] [G] I'm going [E] to Graceland
[D] For [F#m] [G#m] reasons I cannot [E] explain, there's some part of [A] me who [G] wants to see [E] Graceland
[D] And [G] I may [E] be obliged to defend every [Bm] love, every [E] ending, [G] or maybe [E] there's no obligations now
[D] Maybe [E]
I'm a reason to believe we all will be received in Graceland
[D] [E]
[A] [C#m]
[B] Oh, [E] I'm going to Graceland, Graceland, Graceland
I'm going to Graceland Graceland
