Start Jamming...
Sometimes we get asked what is our goal?
We've already basically accomplished whatever the overarching goal of it all is,
which is to be able to play music every night on a stage in front of a nice audience
and make records and put them out on our own terms and go on tour behind them.
So if everything goes well, we just won't have to stop doing that.
I have to apologize.
I do this often.
He started talking and I swear to God I didn't hear anything until you said Kenneth.
So I don't really know what we're [E] talking [Bm] about, what he said.

[G] [Em]
[A] [D] [A#]
[D] There was a dream, I had [A] it too.
[B]
[Bm] You could see it coming [G] true.
If we travel [Bm] in [A] the air, [D]
[G] you could [D] make it [G] if you dared.
But now [A] the sun goes down [G] over Dolly Parton Bridge.
[Em] The one time home of soul takes [A] our country's [Gm] final breath.
I guess [D] it takes more than [A] a man, [D] more than [Bm] a dream for such [G] a fight.
[Em]
Graceland [A] is a ghost town
[D] tonight.
[G] [D]
[G] [Em] [A]
[D] This ain't a trip with [A] my son.
There's [G] no [C#] guitar [Bm] shining in [G] the sun.
Those days are [Em] gone.
May new [A] ones come [D] before it's all just a [G]
museum.
[A] Now the sun goes down [G] over Dolly Parton Bridge.
[Em] The one time home of soul takes [A] our country's [Gm] final breath.
I [D] guess it takes more than a [A] song, [D] [Bm] more than a king for [G] such a fight.

[Em] Graceland [A] is a ghost town [D] tonight.
[Em] [D]
[Bm] [G]
[Dm] [D]
[A] [D] [A] [F#m] [C] I guess [D] it's been a [A] long decline.
