2The Mississippi Delta was shining
                   A5
3Like a National guitar
     C#m6

                                B7

    B17      A18        E19        E20 D21 A22
18And we are going to Graceland
   E23                                 B24
19My traveling companion is nine years old
A25         E26                         E27 D28 A29
20He is the child of my first marriage
         E30
21But I've reason to believe
   B31              A32
22We both will be received
   E33         E34 D35 A36
23In Graceland

E37
25
26She comes back to tell me she's gone
   A38
27As if I didn't know that
                           C#m39
28As if I didn't know my own bed
   B40
29As if I'd never noticed
                                      E41
30The way she brushed her hair from her forehead
31
32And she said losing love
                         A42
33Is like a window in your heart
                      C#m43     A44
34Everybody sees you're blown apart
                   B45
35Everybody sees the wind blow

42And we are going to Graceland
43
44
       E61
45And my traveling companions
                     A62
46Are ghosts and empty sockets
                          E63       E64 D65 A66
47I'm looking at ghosts and empties
         E67
48But I've reason to believe
   B68             A69
49We all will be received

53There is a girl in New York City
                                  A75
54Who calls herself the human trampoline
    C#m76
55And sometimes when I'm falling, flying
56
57Or tumbling in turmoil I say
B77
58WOh, so this is what she means
                E78
59She means we're bouncing into Graceland
60
61And I see losing love
                         A79
62Is like a window in your heart
                      C#m80
63Everybody sees you're blown apart
                    B81
64Everybody feels the wind blow

67Oooo in Graceland, in Graceland
             E86        E87 D88 A89
68I'm going to Graceland
              E90
69For reasons I cannot explain
                        B91        A92
70There's some part of me wants to see
E93        E94 D95 A96
71Graceland
72
73
               E97
74And I may be obliged to defend
                  A98
75Every love, every ending
                 E99                  E100 D101 A102
76Or maybe there's no obligations now
             E103
77Maybe I've a reason to believe
   B104             A105
78We all will be received
   E106         E107 D108 A109
