Graceland
Paul Simon
E A C#m H E
EThe Mississippi Delta was shining
Like a National guiAtar
I am C#mfollowing the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the civil Hwar
AI'm going to EGraceland
Graceland
In Memphis TennesHsee
I'm Agoing to EGracelandEDA
EPoorboys and Pilgrims with families
And Hwe are Agoing to EGracelandEDA
My Etraveling companion is nine years Hold
AHe is the Echild of my first marriageEDA
But I've Ereason to believe
We Hboth will be Areceived
In EGracelandEDA

EShe comes back to tell me she's gone
As Aif I didn't know that
As if I didn't know my own C#mbed
As Hif I'd never noticed
The way she brushed her hair from her Eforehead
And she said losing love
Is like a window in your Aheart
Everybody sees you're C#mblown Aapart
Everybody sees the Hwind blow
I'm Agoing to EGraceland
Memphis TennesHsee
I'm Agoing to EGracelandEDA
EPoorboys and Pilgrims with families
And Hwe are Agoing to EGracelandEDA
And my Etraveling companions
Are ghosts and empty Asockets
I'm looking at ghosts and EemptiesEDA
But I've Ereason to believe
We Hall will be Areceived
In EGracelandEDA

EThere is a girl in New York City
Who calls herself the human trampoAline
And C#msometimes when I'm falling, flying
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
HWOh, so this is what she means
She means we're Ebouncing into Graceland
And I see losing love
Is like a window in your Aheart
Everybody sees you're C#mblown apart
Everybody feels the Hwind blow
Oooo in EGraceland, in GracelandEDA
I'm going to EGracelandEDA
For reasons I Ecannot explain
There's some part of me Hwants to Asee
EGracelandEDA
And I may be Eobliged to defend
Every love, every Aending
Or maybe there's Eno obligations nowEDA
Maybe I've a Ereason to believe
We Hall will be Areceived
In EGracelandEDA
