Capo 9th fret
C F C F C
Intro
The Mississippi Delta was shining
Like a national guitar
I am following the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the civil war
And I'm going to Graceland
Memphis, Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland
She comes back to tell me she's gone
As if I didn't know that
As if I didn't know my own bed
As if I'd never noticed
The way she brushes her hair from her forehead
And she said losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody sees the wind blow
And I'm going to Graceland,
Memphis, Tennessee,
I'm going to Graceland
Interlude
(chords are the same as last time around)
There is a girl in New York City
She calls herself the human trampoline
And sometimes when I'm falling, flying
Tumbling in turmoil I say
Oh so is this what she means
She means we're bouncing into Graceland
And I see losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody feels the wind blow
And I'm going to Graceland,
Memphis, Tennessee,
I'm going to Graceland
End on
