[Verse 1]
    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

[Chorus]
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 A
And we are going to Graceland
  E                                B
My traveling companion is nine years old
A        E                          D  A
He is the child of mv first marriage
        E
But I've reason to believe
                 B      A E         D A E
We both will be received in Graceland

[Verse 2]
E
  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
                           A
Is like a window in your heart
                     C#m
Everybody sees you're blown apart
                         B
Everybody sees the wind blow

[Chorus]
A            E
I'm going to 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 A
And we are going to Graceland
        E                       B
And my traveling companions are ghosts and empty sockets
A        E                          D  A
I'm lookin' at ghosts and empties
         E
But I've reason to believe
                 B      A E         D A E
We all will be received in Graceland

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

[Chorus]
  E
In Graceland, Graceland
B  A            E         D A
    I'm going to Graceland
               E
For reasons I cannot explain
                       B        A    E
There's some part of me wants to see 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
