https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graceland_(album) Capo II [Intro] D G Bm A D [Verse]
D
The Mississippi Delta was shining

                   G
Like a National guitar

     Bm
I am following the river
Down the highway
                                A
Through the cradle of the civil war
[Refrain]
G            D
I'm going to Graceland
Graceland
                 A
In Memphis Tennessee

    G        D         D C G
I'm going to Graceland

D
Poorboys and Pilgrims with families

    A      G        D        D C G
And we are going to Graceland

   D                                 A
My traveling companion is nine years old

G         D                         D C G
He is the child of my first marriage

         D
But I've reason to believe

   A              G
We both will be received

   D         D C G
In Graceland
D [Verse]
D
She comes back to tell me she's gone

   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
And she said losing love
                         G
Is like a window in your heart

                      Bm     G
Everybody sees you're blown apart

                   A
Everybody sees the wind blow
[Chorus]
    G        D
I'm going to Graceland

              A
Memphis Tennessee

    G        D         D C G
I'm going to Graceland

D
Poorboys and Pilgrims with families

    A      G        D         D C G
And we are going to Graceland

       D
And my traveling companions

                     G
Are ghosts and empty sockets

                          D       D C G
I'm looking at ghosts and empties

         D
But I've reason to believe

   A             G
We all will be received

   D        D C G
In Graceland
D [Verse]
D
There is a girl in New York City

                                  G
Who calls herself the human trampoline

    Bm
And sometimes when I'm falling, flying
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
A
WOh, so this is what she means

                D
She means we're bouncing into Graceland
And I see losing love
                         G
Is like a window in your heart

                      Bm
Everybody sees you're blown apart

                    A
Everybody feels the wind blow
[Chorus]
        D                      D C G
Oooo in Graceland, in Graceland

             D        D C G
I'm going to Graceland

              D
For reasons I cannot explain

                        A        G
There's some part of me wants to see

D        D C G
Graceland

               D
And I may be obliged to defend

                  G
Every love, every ending

                 D                  D C G
Or maybe there's no obligations now

             D
Maybe I've a reason to believe

   A             G
We all will be received

   D         D C G
In Graceland
