[Verse 1]
Em/D D
 The Mississippi Delta was shining
                  Em/D G
Like a National guitar
     Bm
I am following the river down the highway
                                A
Through the cradle of the Civil War
 
[Chorus]
G/D           D        Em D
 I'm going to Graceland,  Graceland
D
Memphis Tennessee
G/D           D        Em D   | D C   G/D |
 I'm going to Graceland
D         Em  D
Poor boys and Pilgrims with families
       G/D          D        Em D   | D C   G/D |
And we are going to Graceland
  D          Em D
My traveling companion is nine years old
G/D       D        Em D              | D C   G/D |
He is the child of my  first marriage
         D         Em D
But I've reason to be-lieve
                         G/D D        Em D   | D C   G/D |
We both will be received in  Graceland
 
[Verse 2]
|  D  |  %  |          Em/D D
        She comes back to   tell me she's gone
Em/D G
  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
 
[Bridge]
             D                                    G
And she said losing love is like a window in your heart
                      Bm           Bsus
Everybody sees you're blown apart
                   A
Everybody sees the wind blow
 
[Chorus]
G/D           D        Em D
 I'm going to Graceland,  Graceland
D
Memphis Tennessee
G/D           D        Em D   | D C   G/D |
 I'm going to Graceland
D         Em  D
Poor boys and Pilgrims with families
       G/D          D        Em D   | D C   G/D |
And we are going to Graceland
       D         Em D
And my traveling companions are ghosts and empty sockets
G/D             D            Em D   | D C   G/D |
 I'm lookin' at ghosts and empties
         D         Em D
But I've reason to be-lieve
                        G/D D        Em D   | D C   G/D |
We all will be received in  Graceland
 
[Verse 3]
|  D  |  %  |    Em/D D
        There is a    girl in New York City
                                 Em/D G
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
 
[Bridge]
          D                                    G
And I see losing love is like a window in your heart
                           Bm          Bsus2
Well everybody sees you're blown apart
                    A
Everybody feels the wind blow, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
 
[Chorus]
G/D           D        Em D
 I'm going to Graceland,  Graceland
D
Memphis Tennessee
G/D           D        Em D   | D C   G/D |
 I'm going to Graceland
              D      Em D
For reasons I cannot ex-plain
                              G/D    D        Em D   | D C   G/D |
There's some part of me wants to see Graceland
               D        Em D
And I may be obliged to de-fend
                         G/D              D    Em D          | D C   G/D |
Every love, every ending or maybe there's no obli-gations now
           D         Em D
MAybe I've reason to be-lieve
                        G/D D        Em D   | D C   G/D |
We all will be received in  Graceland
