Intro: Ex4 bars

|E                    |
The Mississippi Delta was shining

                  |A  |
Like a National guitar

     |C#m          
 I am following the river

        | 
Down the highway

                               |B  |
Through the cradle of the civil war


 A           |E    
 I'm going to Graceland, Graceland
 
  |              B
In Memphis Tennessee

    A       |E        | D A|
I'm going to Graceland

E                          |
Poor boys and Pilgrims with families

    B      A       |E        | D
And we are going to Graceland

A   |E                     |           B
  My traveling companion is nine years old

A        |E                         | D
He is the child of mv first marriage

A         |E
  But I've reason to believe

  |               B      A |E        | D A|E |
We both will be received In Graceland


                  |                  |
 She comes back to tell me she's gone

  |A                
As if I didn't know that

  |                       |C#m |
As if I didn't know my own bed

  |B                   |
As if I'd never noticed

                                      |E       |
 The way she brushed her hair from her forehead

            |      |
And she said losing love

                        |     |
Is like a window in your heart

                      |C#m        |
 Everybody sees you're blown apart

              |B            |
Everybody sees the wind blow


     A       |E        |
 I'm going to Graceland

              B
Memphis Tennessee

    A       |E        | D A|
I'm going to Graceland

E                          |
Poor boys and Pilgrims with families

    B      A       |E        | D
And we are going to Graceland

A   |E                       |                 B   A
  My traveling companions are ghosts and empty sockets

   |E                            | D
I'm looking at ghosts and empties

A         |E
  But I've reason to believe

  |              B      A |E        | D A|E |
We all will be received In Graceland


          |                  
There is a girl in New York City

   |                             |A   |
Who calls herself the human trampoline

   |C#m                        |
And sometimes when I'm falling, flylng

  |                         |
Or tumbling in turmoil I say

B                      |
Oh, so this is what she means

                             |E        |
She means we're bouncing into Graceland

         |      |
And I see losing love

                        |     |
Is like a window in your heart

                      |C#m        |
 Everybody sees you're blown apart

                    |B        |
 Everybody feels the wind blow


  |E                      |
In Graceland, in Graceland

 B A            |E        | D 
    I'm going to Graceland

A            |E 
For reasons I cannot explain

            |           B        A  |
There's some part of me wants to see

E        |
Graceland

D     A        |E         
  And I may be obliged to defend
 
     |            B
Every love, every ending

   A            |E                 | D
Or maybe there's no obligations now

A             |E           
  Maybe I've a reason to believe

  |              B  
We all will be received

A |E        |
In Graceland
