[C#m]
[B]
[E]
The Mississippi Delta was shining like a [A] national guitar.
I [C#m] am following the river down the highway through the cradle of the [B] Civil War.
[G] I'm going [E] to Graceland, Graceland, [G] Memphis, Tennessee, I'm going [E] to Graceland.
[G]
[E] Poor boys and children, the families, we are going to Graceland.
[D] [G]
[E] My traveling companion is nine [A] years old, he is the child of my first marriage.
[G] When [E] I've resorted to the river, we both will be reaching Graceland.
[D] [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 bed.
[B] As if I'd never noticed the way she brushed her [E] hair from far ahead.
And 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.
[G] I'm going to [E] Graceland, Memphis, Tennessee, I'm going to Graceland.
[G]
[E] Poor boys and pilgrims, the families, we are going to Graceland.
[G] And my [E] traveling companions are hosting empty sockets, I'm looking at coats and empties.
[D] But I've reason to believe we all will [B] be received in Graceland.
[D]
There is a girl in New York City who calls herself the 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 window.
Ooh, [G] I'm [E] going to Graceland, Graceland.
[F#] I'm going to Graceland.
[D] For reasons I cannot explain, there's some part of me who wants to see Graceland.
And [G] I'm maybe [E] obliged to defend every love, every [B] ending, or maybe there's no obligations now.
[D] [G] Maybe I'm [E] a reason to believe we all will be received in Graceland.
[F#m]

Oh, [E] Graceland, Graceland, Graceland.
I'm [Em] going to Graceland.
