CMississippi Delta was shining
Like a National guiFtar
I am Amfollowing the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the civil Gwar
[Chorus]
I'm going to CGraceland
Graceland
In GMemphis Tennessee
I'm going to FGraceland
CPoor boys and Pilgrims with Gfamilies
And we are going to FGraceland
My Ctraveling companion is Gnine years old
FHe is the child of my first marriage
But I've Creason to believe
We Gall will be received
In FGraceland
[Verse]
CShe comes back to tell me she's gone
As Fif I didn't know that
As if I didn't know my own Ambed
As Gif I'd never noticed
The way she brushed her hair from her Cforehead
And she said losing love
Is like a window in your Fheart
Everybody sees you're Amblown apart
Everybody sees the Gwind blow

But I've Creason to believe
We Gall will be received
In FGraceland
[Chorus]
Oooo CGraceland, GracelanGd
I'm going to FGraceland
For reasons I Ccannot explain
There's some Gpart of me wants to see

Every Glove and every ending
Or maybe Fthere's no obligations now
But I've a reCason to believe
We Gall will be received
In FGraceland

Oooo CGraceland, GracelanGd
I'm going to FGraceland

Title: Graceland

Artist: Paul Simon

Covered by: Kina Grannis & Imaginary Future

COVER VERSION

[Verse]

Mississippi Delta was shining

Like a National guitar

I am following the river

Down the highway

Through the cradle of the civil war

[Chorus]

I'm going to Graceland

Graceland

In Memphis Tennessee

I'm going to Graceland

C G

Poor boys and Pilgrims with families

And we are going to Graceland

C G

My traveling companion is nine years old

He is the child of my first marriage

But I've reason to believe

We all will be received

In Graceland

[Verse]

She comes back to tell me she's gone

As if I didn't know that

As if I didn't know my own bed

As if I'd never noticed

The way she brushed her hair from her forehead

And she said losing love

Is like a window in your heart

Everybody sees you're blown apart

Everybody sees the wind blow

[Chorus]

... Graceland, Graceland

Memphis Tennessee

I'm going to Graceland

C G

Poor boys and Pilgrims with families

And we are going to Graceland

And my traveling companions

Are ghosts and empty sockets

I'm looking at ghosts and empties

But I've reason to believe

We all will be received

In Graceland

[Chorus]

C G

Oooo Graceland, Graceland

I'm going to Graceland

For reasons I cannot explain

There's some part of me wants to see

Graceland

And I may be obliged to defend

Every love and every ending

Or maybe there's no obligations now

But I've a reason to believe

We all will be received

In Graceland

[Outro]

C G

Oooo Graceland, Graceland

I'm going to Graceland

C G

Graceland, Graceland

I'm going to Graceland
