Intro: D   D * D

    D
The Mississippi Delta was shining

                   D *  G9  G9 *
Like a national guitar

     Bm7
I am following the river

         Bm9
Down the highway

                                Aadd11
Through the cradle of the civil war

G9              D
  And I'm going to Graceland

              G9
Memphis, Tennessee

             D           Aadd11  D     G9  D
I'm going to Graceland




( D )                                    D *  D
She comes back to tell me she's gone

  G9
As if I didn't know that

  G9 *                   Bm7   Bm9
As if I didn't know my own bed

  Aadd11
As if I'd never noticed

            G9       D                       Aadd11   D
The way she brushes her hair from her forehead

( D )
And she said losing love

                         G9   G9 *
Is like a window in your heart

                    Bm7               Bm9
Everybody sees you're blown apart

                   Aadd11
Everybody sees the wind blow

G9              D
  And I'm going to Graceland,

              G9
Memphis, Tennessee,

             D           Aadd11   D
I'm going to Graceland


Interlude:  D  Aadd11  Bm7  Aadd11  D  Aadd11  Bm7



(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 D
