Intro: Ex4 bars

|E                    |
The Mississippi Delta was shining

                  |A  |
Like a National guitar

     |C#m          
 I am following the river

        | 
Down the highway

                               |B  |
Through the cradle of the civil war


 A (x02220@1)         |E    
 I'm going to Graceland, Graceland

We both will be received In Graceland


                  |                  |
 She comes back to tell me she's gone

  |A                
As if I didn't know that

  |                       |C#m |
As if I didn't know my own bed

  |B                   |
As if I'd never noticed

                                      |E       |
 The way she brushed her hair from her forehead

            |      |
And she said losing love

                        |     |
Is like a window in your heart

                      |C#m        |
 Everybody sees you're blown apart

              |B            |
Everybody sees the wind blow


     A (x02220@1)     |E        |

          |                  
There is a girl in New York City

   |                             |A   |
Who calls herself the human trampoline

   |C#m                        |
And sometimes when I'm falling, flylng

  |                         |
Or tumbling in turmoil I say

B (x2444x@1)                    |
Oh, so this is what she means

                             |E        |
She means we're bouncing into Graceland

         |      |
And I see losing love

                        |     |
Is like a window in your heart

                      |C#m        |
 Everybody sees you're blown apart

                    |B        |
 Everybody feels the wind blow


  |E                      |
