[Verse]
E                    
The Mississippi Delta
                            A     
Was shining like a national guitar
C#m                     
I am following the river
         C#m    
Down the highway
                          B        
Through the cradle of the Civil War
    G        E7        E         E7
I'm going to Graceland Graceland ■ 
E7               
Memphis Tennessee
          G  E        
I'm going to Graceland
D A7   E                              
■ Poor boys and pilgrims with families
                 A7 E        
And we are going to Graceland
D G  E                                    
■ My traveling companion is nine years old
      E7                    E       
He is the child of my first marriage
D G        E7               
■ But I've reason to believe
E               E7      
We both will be received
   A7       
In Graceland
E7 E D E

          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


[Chorus]
B                      
As if I'd never noticed
                        E                     
The way she brushed her hair from her forehead
        E               
And she said losing love
                    A         
Is like a window in your heart
          C#m         C#m7       
Everybody sees you're blown apart
C#m B                           
■   Everybody sees the wind blow
          G  E7       
I'm going to Graceland
E       E7       
Memphis Tennessee
    G        E7        E
I'm going to Graceland ■


[Verse]
D G    E7       A7                    
■ Poor boys and pilgrims with families
                 E7          
And we are going to Graceland
D A7     E7                  
■ And my traveling companions
E          E7               
Are ghosts and empty sockets
            A         E7          E
I'm looking at ghosts and empties ■
D E7                 E      
■ But I've reason to believe
               E7      
We all will be received
   E         D E
In Graceland ■ ■
      E                         
There is a girl in New York City
                            E         
Who calls herself the human trampoline
A   C#m                                  
And ■   sometimes when I'm falling flying
   C#m                      
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
B                             
Whoa so this is what she means
                         E             
She means we're bouncing into Graceland
      E              
And I see losing love
                    A         
Is like a window in your heart


[Chorus]
                    C#m    C#m7       
Well everybody sees you're blown apart
B                        B7  
Everybody feels the wind blow
    B7     
Ooh ooh ooh
E7 E                     
In Graceland in Graceland
    A        E        
I'm going to Graceland
D             E               
■ For reasons I cannot explain
E7                                  
There's some part of me wants to see
          E D         E7                  
Graceland ■ And I may be obliged to defend
                 E     
Every love every ending
                                    A
Or maybe there's no obligations now ■
G            E7               
Maybe I've a reason to believe
E7                     
We all will be received
   E        
In Graceland
D E A C#m B
■ ■ ■ ■   ■
B         
Whoa oh oh
B7 E                                  
In Graceland in Graceland in Graceland
    E                 
I'm going to Graceland
