[E] [F#m]
[E] The Mississippi Delta is shining like a [A] national guitar.
[C#m] I am following the river down the highway through the cradle [B] of the Civil War.
[F#m] [G] I'm going [E] to Graceland, Graceland, [Bm] to Memphis, [F#m] Tennessee.
[G] I'm going [E] to Graceland.
[D] [A] [E]
Poor boys and girls, [A] the families, we are [G] going [E] to Graceland.
[D] [A] [G]
[E] My traveling companion [A] is nine [C#m] years [G] old.
He is the [E] child of my first marriage.
[D] [A] [G] When [E] I've risen to the reef, we [A] both will be received [G] in [E] Graceland.
[F#m] [E]
She comes back to tell me she's gone.
[A]
As if I didn't know that, as if I didn't know my [C#m]
own best.
[B] As if I'd never noticed the way she brushed her [E] hair from afar.
She said losing love is like a window [A] in your heart.
Everybody [C#m] sees you're blown apart.
[B] Everybody sees the window.
[E] I'm going to Graceland, Memphis, [A] Tennessee.
[G] I'm going to [E] Graceland.
[F#m] [E]
Poor boys and girls, the [A] families, we are [G] going to [E] Graceland.
[D] [A] [G] My [E] traveling companion is a ghost in empty [A] sockets.
[G] I'm looking at [E] ghosts in empty.
[D] [A] [E] When I've risen to the reef, we all [C#m] will be received [E] in Graceland.
[D] [F#m] [E]
There 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, I [B] say, whoa, so this is what she means.
She means we're [E] bouncing into Graceland.
And I see losing love is like a window [A] in your heart.
Everybody [C#m] sees you're blown apart.
[B] Everybody feels the wind blow.
[G] In [E] Graceland, Graceland, [A] [G] I'm going to [E] Graceland.
[D] [F#m] For [E] reasons I cannot explain, there's some part of me [A] who wants [G] to see [E] Graceland.
[D] [G] And I may be [E] obliged to defend every love, every ending, or [G] maybe [G#m] there's no [E] obligations now.
[F#m] [G] Maybe [E] I'm a reason to believe we all [A] will be [E] received in Graceland.
