Graceland Paul Simon
Capo 2
D ...
[G] [Bm] [A] [D]
[D]The Mississippi Delta was shining like a National g[G]uitar
I am [Bm]following the river down the highway through the cradle of the ci[A]vil war
I'm [G]going to [D]Graceland, Graceland, [D]Memphis [A]Tennes[G]see
I'm going to [D]Graceland[C] [G]
[D]Poorboys and pilgrims with families, and [A]we are [G]going to [D]Graceland[C] [G]
My [D]traveling companion is [D]nine [A]years [G]old, he is the [D]child of my first marriage[C] [G]
But I've [D]reason to believe we [D]both will [A]be r[G]eceived
In [D]Graceland[C] [G]
D ...
She comes back to tell me she's gone; [G]as if I didn't know that
As if I didn't know my own [Bm]bed; as i[A]f I'd never noticed
The way she brushed her hair from her [D]forehead
And she said losing love is like a window in your[G] heart
Everybody sees you're [Bm]blown apart, everybody sees the [A]wind blow
I'm [G]going to [D]Graceland, [D]Memphis [A]Tennes[G]see
I'm going to [D]Graceland[C] [G]
[D]Poorboys and pilgrims with families, and [A]we are [G]going to [D]Graceland[C] [G]
And my [D]traveling companions are [D]ghosts and [A]empty [G]sockets
I'm looking at [D]ghosts and empties[C] [G]
But I've [D]reason to believe we [D]all will [A]be rec[G]eived
In [D]Graceland[C] [G]
D ...
There is a girl in New York City who calls herself the human trampol[G]ine
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 losing love is like a window in your [G]heart
Everybody sees you're [Bm]blown apart; everybody feels the [A]wind blow
Ooooo in[D] Graceland, in Graceland, [D]... [A] [G] I'm going to [D]Graceland[C] [G]
For reasons I [D]cannot explain
There's some part of me [A]wants to [G]see [D]Graceland[C] [G]
And I may be ob[D]liged to defend every l[D]ove, e[A]very [G]ending
Or maybe there's [D]no obligations now[C] [G]
Maybe I've a [D]reason to believe we [D]all will [A]be rec[G]eived in [D]Graceland[C] [G]
[D]Oooh.....[G] [Bm] [A]
[A]Whoa... in G[D]raceland, in Graceland, in [D]Gracel[A]and, .[G].. I'm going to [D]Graceland[C] [G]
