Simon Paul - Graceland Akor

E

The Mississippi Delta was shining

A

Like a National guitar

C#m

I am following the river

Down the highway

B

Through the cradle of the civil war

A E

I'm going to Graceland, Graceland

B

In Memphis Tennessee

A E D A

I'm going to Graceland

Poor boys and Pilgrims with families

B A E D

And we are going to Graceland

A E B

My traveling companion is nine years old

A E D

He is the child of mv first marriage

A E

But I've reason to believe

B A E D A E

We both will be received In Graceland

She comes back to tell me she's gone

A

As if I didn't know that

C#m

As if I didn't know my own bed

B

As if I'd never noticed

E

The way she brushed her hair from her forehead

And she said losing love

Is like a window in your heart

C#m

Everybody sees you're blown apart

B

Everybody sees the wind blow

A E

I'm going to Graceland

B

Memphis Tennessee

A E D A

I'm going to Graceland

Poor boys and Pilgrims with families

B A E D

And we are going to Graceland

A E B A

My traveling companions are ghosts and empty sockets

E D

I'm looking at ghosts and empties

A E

But I've reason to believe

B A E D A E

We all will be received In Graceland

There is a girl in New York City

A

Who calls herself the human trampoline

C#m

And sometimes when I'm falling, flylng

Or tumbling in turmoil I say

Oh, so this is what she means

E

She means we're bouncing into Graceland

And I see losing love

Is like a window in your heart

C#m

Everybody sees you're blown apart

B

Everybody feels the wind blow

E

In Graceland, in Graceland

B A E D

I'm going to Graceland

A E

For reasons I cannot explain

B A

There's some part of me wants to see

Graceland

D A E

And I may be obliged to defend

B

Everv love, every ending

A E D

Or maybe there's no obligations now

A E

Maybe I've a reason to believe

B

We all will be received

A E

In Graceland
