INTRO: [D#] [G#] [Cm] [A#] [D#]

The [D#] Mississippi Delta was shining like a National gui-[G#]-tar
I am [Cm] following the river, down the highway, through the cradle of the civil [A#] war

CHORUS:
[G#] I'm going to [D#] Graceland, Graceland, in Memphis Tennes-[G#]-see
I'm going to [D#] Graceland ^[D#]^[C#]^[G#]
[D#] Poor boys and Pilgrims with families
and [G#] we are going to [D#] Graceland ^[D#]^[C#]^[G#]

BRIDGE 1:
My [D#] traveling companion is nine years [G#] old, he is the [D#] child of mv first marriage ^[D#]^[C#]^[G#]
But I've [D#] reason to believe, we both will be re-[G#]-ceived in [D#] Graceland ^[D#]^[C#]^[G#]

VERSE 2:
She comes [D#] back to tell me she's gone, as [G#] if I didn't know that, as if I didn't know my own [Cm] bed,
as [A#] if I'd never noticed, the way she brushed her hair from her [D#] forehead

PRE-CHORUS:
And she said [D#] losing love is like a window in your [G#] heart
Everybody sees you're [Cm] blown apart, everybody sees [A#] the wind blow

CHORUS:
[G#] I'm going to [D#] Graceland, Graceland, in Memphis Tennes-[G#]-see
I'm going to [D#] Graceland ^[D#]^[C#]^[G#]
[D#] Poor boys and Pilgrims with families
and [G#] we are going to [D#] Graceland ^[D#]^[C#]^[G#]

BRIDGE 2:
My [D#] traveling companions are ghosts and empty [G#] sockets
I'm [D#] looking at ghosts and empties ^[D#]^[C#]^[G#]
But I've [D#] reason to believe, we both will be re-[G#]-ceived, in [D#] Graceland ^[D#]^[C#]^[G#]

VERSE 3:
There is a [D#] girl in New York City, who calls herself the human trampo-[G#]-line
And [Cm] sometimes when I'm falling, flying, or tumbling in turmoil I say

[*ORIGINAL OUTRO]
In [D#] Graceland, in Graceland, [G#] I'm going to [D#] Graceland ^[D#]^[C#]^[G#]
For reasons I [D#] cannot explain, there's some part of me [G#] wants to see [D#] Graceland ^[D#]^[C#]^[G#]
