Standard (EADGBE)

The Mississippi Delta was shining

 Like a National guitar

 I am following the river

Down the highway

 Through the cradle of the civil war

I'm going to Graceland

Graceland

 In Memphis Tennessee

 I'm going to Graceland

Poorboys and Pilgrims with families

 And we are going to Graceland

 My traveling companion is nine years old

He is the child of my first marriage

 But I've reason to believe

 We both will be received

 In 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 brushed 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

 I'm going to Graceland

 Memphis Tennessee

 I'm going to Graceland

Poorboys and Pilgrims with families

 And we are going to Graceland

 And my traveling companions

 Are ghosts and empty sockets

 I'm looking at ghosts and empties

 But I've reason to believe

 We all will be received

 In Graceland

There is a girl in New York City

 Who calls herself the human trampoline

 And sometimes when I'm falling, flying

Or tumbling in turmoil I say

WOh, so this is 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

 Oooo in Graceland, in Graceland

 I'm going to Graceland

 For reasons I cannot explain

 There's some part of me wants to see

Graceland

 And I may be obliged to defend

 Every love, every ending

 Or maybe there's no obligations now

 Maybe I've a reason to believe

 We all will be received

 In Graceland
