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
( D5 ) D5 * D5
She comes back to tell me she's gone
G5
As if I didn't know that
G5 * B5 B5
As if I didn't know my own bed
Aadd11
As if I'd never noticed

The way she brushes her hair from her forehead
( D5 )
And she said losing love

Is like a window in your heart

Interlude: D5 Aadd11 B5 Aadd11 D5 Aadd11 B5
(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 D5
