Notes:
1) Tabbing all the parts [previusly just tabbed the inro],
2) I have now gotten it right, after several failed edits,
3) I spaced out the notes so you can get a sense of the rythym.
4) tip: Use your thumb for lower E and D string (added T for thumb in the intro),
5) practice the thumb part until you are comfortable before adding the top strings,
6) You can play the song either using 1 finger, 1 thumb, or 2 fingers, 1 thumb (I use two fingers)

[Verse 1]
G The Mississippi Delta C Cmaj7 Was shining like a national guitar Em I am following the highway
Down the river
E7sus4/F#
Through the cradle of the Civil War[Chorus]
D7sus2/F# G C/G I'm going to Graceland, Graceland G Memphis, Tennessee C/G G I'm going to Graceland
Poor boys and pilgrims with families
C/G And we are going to Graceland G My traveling companion is nine years old G He is the child of my first marriage G But I've reason to believe
We all will be received
C/G
In Graceland[Verse 2]
G She comes back to tell me she's gone C Cmaj7 As if I didn't know that Em As if I didn't know my own bed E7sus4/F# As if I'd never noticed D7sus2/F# The way she combs her hair off her G C/G G forehead
[Verse 3]
G And she said, "losing love C Cmaj7 Is like a window in your heart Em Everybody sees you're blown apart E7sus4/F# D7sus2/F# Everybody sees the wind blow
[Chorus]
G C/G oh oh Graceland G C/G I'm going to Graceland G C/G G C/G Poor boys and pilgrims with families C/G G And we are going to Graceland G And my traveling companions G Are ghosts and empty sockets G C/G I'm looking at ghosts and empties G But I've reason to believe G We all will be received C/G G In Graceland
[Verse 4]
G There is a girl in New York City C Cmaj7 Who calls herself the human trampoline Em whenever I'm falling, flying, tumbling in turmoil I say: E7sus4/F# "Whoa, so this is what she means" D7sus2/F# G C/G She means we're bouncing into Graceland
[Verse 5]
G She says losing love C Cmaj7 Is like a window in your heart Em Well, everybody sees you're blown apart E7sus4/F# Everybody feels the wind blow D7sus2/F# Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
G C/G In Graceland, in Graceland G C/G I'm going to Graceland
For reasons I cannot explain
There's some part of me wants to see
C/G Graceland G And I may be obliged to defend G Every love, every ending C/G Or maybe there's no obligations now G Maybe I've a reason to believe G We all will be received C/G In Graceland
[Outro]
G C/G Whoa, oh, oh G C/G G In Graceland, in Graceland, in Graceland C/G G C/G G I'm going to Graceland
