[C#m]
[B]
[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] going to [A] [E] Graceland, Graceland, Memphis, [F#m] Tennessee, [G] I'm [E] going to Graceland
[D] [A]
[G] [E] Poor boys and girls [A] with families, we [G] are [E] going to Graceland
[D] [F#m]
[G] [E] My traveling companion [G] is [B] nine [C#m] years [G] old, he's [E] the child of my first marriage
[D]
[C#] [E] I've reasoned to believe we both will be [A]
[G] received in [E] Graceland
She [F#m]
[E]
[F#m] 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 through my forehead
And she said, losing love is like a [A] window in your heart
Everybody [C#m] sees you're blown apart, everybody [B] sees the window
[G] I'm [E] going to Graceland, [A] Memphis, Tennessee, [G] I'm [G#m] going to Graceland
[E] [F#m] Poor
[E] boys and girls [G] with [Am] families, we [G] are going [E] to Graceland
And [D] [F#m]
[G] [E] my traveling companion's a ghost in empty [A] sockets, [G] I'm looking [E] at ghosts in empty seats
[D] [A]
[E] I've reasoned to believe we all will be [C#]
[G] received in [B] Graceland
[E] [D] [F#]
[E] There is a girl in New York City that calls herself a human [A] trampoline
[C#m] Sometimes when I'm falling, flying, or tumbling in turmoil, I say, [B] whoa, so this is what she means
She means we're bouncing [E] in the 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
[G] [E] In Graceland, Graceland, [A]
[G] I'm [E] going to Graceland
For [D]
[G#m] reasons I cannot [E] explain, there's some [A] part of me that [G] wants to [E] see Graceland
[D]
[G] And I may [E] be obliged to defend every love, every ending, or maybe there's no obligations now
[Bm] [F#m] Maybe [G] [E] I've a reason to believe we all will be [A]
[E] received in Graceland
