'Graceland' by Paul Simon - Guitar Tutorial

            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

E 
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

E 
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

B 
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

E 
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

Repeat and fade:
