Graceland

E C#m Bm A (x2) The E Mississippi Delta was shining Like a National guiAtar I am C#m following the river Down the highway Through the cradle of the civil B war Chorus: I'm going to E Graceland, Graceland, Memphis, Tennessee I'm going to Graceland C#m Bm A E Poorboys and Pilgrims with families And we are going to Graceland C#m Bm A My E traveling companion is nine years old He is the child of my first marriage C#m Bm A But I've E reason to believe We both will be received in Graceland C#m Bm A |

She comes back to E tell me she's gone As A if I didn't know that As if I didn't know my C#m own bed As B if I'd never noticed The way she brushed her hair from her E forehead And she said losing love Is like a window in your A heart Everybody sees you're C#m blown apart Everybody sees the B wind blow --Chorus And my E traveling companions are ghosts and empty sockets I'm looking at ghosts and empties C#m Bm A But I've E reason to believe We all will be received In Graceland C#m Bm A There is a E girl in New York City Who calls herself the human trampoAline And C#m sometimes when I'm falling, flying Or tumbling in turmoil I say B Oh, so this is what she means She means we're bouncing into E Graceland And I see losing love Is like a window in your A heart Everybody sees you're C#m blown apart Everybody feels the B wind blow In E Graceland, in Graceland I'm going to Graceland C#m Bm A For reasons I E cannot explain There's some part of me wants to see Graceland C#m Bm A And I may be E obliged to defend every love, every ending Or maybe there's no obligations now C#m Bm A Maybe I've a E reason to believe We all will be received in Graceland C#m Bm A E A C#m B E In E Graceland, in Graceland, in Graceland I'm going to Graceland C#m Bm A E C#m Bm A (x2) |
