Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][D][D][D]
[D][D][D][D]
[D][D][D][D]
[G][G][Bm][Bm]
[A][A][D][D]

[Verse 1]
The [D]Mississippi Delta
Was shining like a national [G]guitar
I am [Bm]following the river down the highway
Through the cradle of the Civil [A]War
[G]I'm going to [F]Grace

[Chorus 1]
[D]land, Graceland
Memphis, Tennessee
[G]I'm going to [F]Grace[D]land
[D][C][G]
[F]Poo[D]r boys and pilgrims with families
And we [G]are going to [F]Grace[D]land
[D][C][G]
[F]My [D]traveling companion is nine years [G]old
He is the [F]child [D]of my first marriage
[D][C][G]
But [F]I've rea[D]son to believe
We both will be re[G]ceived In [F]Grace[D]land
[D][C][G]
[D][D]

[Verse 2]
She comes back [D]to tell me she's gone
As [G]if I didn't know that
As if I didn't know my [Bm]own bed
As [A]if I'd never noticed
The way she brushed her hair
[D]from her forehead
And she said, [D]"losing love
Is like a window in your [G]heart
Everybody sees [Bm]you're blown apart
Everybody sees [A]the wind blow"
I'm going to [F]Grace

[Chorus 2]
[D]land
Memphis, Tennessee
[G]I'm going to [F]Grace[D]land
[D][C][G]
[F]Poo[D]r boys and pilgrims with families
And we [G]are going to [F]Grace[D]land
[D][C][G]
And [F]my [D]traveling companions
Are ghosts and empty sockets
[G]I'm looking at [F]ghosts and [D]empties
[D][C][G]
But [F]I've rea[D]son to believe
We all will be re[G]ceived In [F]Grace[D]land
[D][C][G]
[D][D]

[Verse 3]
There is a [D]girl in New York City
Who calls herself the human [G]trampoline
And [Bm]sometimes when I'm falling, flying
Or tumbling in turmoil
I say [A]"Whoa, so this is what she means"
She means we're bouncing into [D]Graceland
And I see [D]"losing love
Is like a window in your [G]heart
Well, everybody sees you're [Bm]blown apart
Everybody [A]feels the wind blow"
Ooh, ooh, ooh
In [F]Grace

[Chorus 3]
[D]land, in Graceland
[G]I'm going to [F]Grace[D]land
[D][C]
[G]For reasons [F]I c[D]annot explain
There's some part of me
[G]Wants to see [F]Grace[D]land
[D][C]
And [G]I may be o[F] bl[D]iged to defend
Every love, every ending
[G]Or maybe [F]there's [D]no obligations now
[D][C][G]
Maybe I've [F]a reas[D]on to believe
We all will be re[G]ceived In [F]Grace[D]land
[D][C][G]

[Interlude 1]
[D][D][D][D]
[G][G][Bm][Bm]
[A]Who[A]a, oh, oh
In [F]Grace

[Outro 1]
[D]land, in Graceland, in Graceland
[G]I'm going to [F]Grace[D]land
[D][C][G]
[F][D][D][G]
[F][D][D][C][G]
[F][D][D][G]
[F][D][D][C][G]
[Fade out]
