[Verse 1]
Em/DD
The Mississippi Delta was shining
Em/DG
Like a National guitar

I am following the river down the highway

Through the cradle of the Civil War
[Chorus]
G/DDEmD
I'm going to Graceland, Graceland
D
Memphis Tennessee
||G/DDEmDDCG/D
I'm going to Graceland
DEmD
Poor boys and Pilgrims with families
||G/DDEmDDCG/D
And we are going to Graceland
DEmD
My traveling companion is nine years old
||G/DDEmDDCG/D
He is the child of my first marriage
DEmD
But I've reason to be-lieve
||G/DDEmDDCG/D
We both will be received in Graceland
[Verse 2]

She comes back to tell me she's gone
Em/DG
As if I didn't know that
Bm
As if I didn't know my own bed
A
As if I'd never noticed
D
The way she brushed her hair from her forehead
[Pre-Chorus]
DG
And she said losing love is like a window in your heart
BmBsus
Everybody sees you're blown apart
A
Everybody sees the wind blow
[Chorus]
G/DDEmD
I'm going to Graceland, Graceland
D
Memphis Tennessee
||G/DDEmDDCG/D
I'm going to Graceland
DEmD
Poor boys and Pilgrims with families
||G/DDEmDDCG/D
And we are going to Graceland
DEmD
And my traveling companions are ghosts and empty sockets
Page 7/30
||G/DDEmDDCG/D
I'm lookin' at ghosts and empties
DEmD
But I've reason to be-lieve
||G/DDEmDDCG/D
We all will be received in Graceland
[Verse 3]
| D | % | Em/D D
There is a girl in New York City
Em/DG
Who calls herself the human trampoline
Bm
And sometimes when I'm falling, flying or tumbling in turmoil I say
A
"Woah, so this is what she means"
D
She means we're bouncing into Graceland
[Pre-Chorus]
DG
And I see losing love is like a window in your heart
Bm
Well everybody sees you're blown apart
A
Everybody feels the wind blow, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
G/DDEmD
I'm going to Graceland, Graceland
D
Memphis Tennessee
||G/DDEmDDCG/D
I'm going to Graceland
DEmD
For reasons I cannot ex-plain
||G/DDEmDDCG/D
There's some part of me wants to see Graceland
DEmD
And I may be obliged to de-fend
||G/DDEmDDCG/D
Every love, every ending or maybe there's no obli-gations now
DEmD
MAybe I've reason to be-lieve
||G/DDEmDDCG/D
We all will be received in Graceland
