[Verse 1]
A       E
 The Mississippi Delta
                               A
Was shining 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

[Chorus]
               B7
Memphis, Tennessee,
A                 E
I'm going to Graceland
D
A    E                                    B7    A
 Poor boys and pilgrims with families And we are
                  E D A
going to Graceland
        E                            B7 A
My traveling companion is nine years old
He is the child of my first marriage
D A               E
   But I've reason to believe
                  B7    A            D A
We both will be received in Graceland

[Bridge]
E          A           E
 She comes back to tell me she's gone

[Verse 2]
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 fo rehead
And she said losing love
                              A
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

[Chorus]
               B7
Memphis, Tennessee,
A                 E
I'm going to Graceland
D
A    E                                    B7    A
 Poor boys and pilgrims with families And we are
              E
going to Graceland
D
A            E                                      B7   A
 And my traveling companions are ghosts and empty sockets
I'm looking at ghosts and empties
D A            E
   But I've reason to believe
                 B7    A            D A
We all will be received in Graceland

[Verse 3]
E      A        E
 There is a girl in New York City
Who calls herself the human trampoline
A    C#m
 And sometimes when I'm falling, flying
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
      B
"Whoa, so this is what she means"
                              E
She means we're bouncing into Graceland
And I see losing love
                    A
Is like a window in your heart
                            C#m
Well, everybody sees you're blown apart
               B
Everybody feels the wind blow
   A
Ooh

[Chorus]
        E
In Graceland, Graceland
B7 A                 E
   I'm going to Graceland
D A                E
  For reasons I cannot explain
                        B7    A           E
There's some part of me wants to see Graceland
D    A               E
 And I may be obliged to defend
                    B7     A
Every love, every ending Or
maybe there's no obligations now
D A                E
   Maybe I've a reason to believe
                 B7    A            D A
We all will be received in Graceland

[Bridge]
E A C#m B
    A
Woah

[Outro]
        E                         B7
In Graceland, Graceland, Graceland
A            E        D A E B7 A E
I'm going to Graceland
