Graceland Lyrics

Graceland (arr. for solo guitar)
Paul Simon
Verse:
Play verse once without lyrics
The Mississippi Delta was
shining like a National guitar.
I am following the river down the
Highway through the cradle of the Civil war
pickup: A Em | EM E B
e--------------|--------------------4-----2---| (play pickup again
b--2-2-p0---0--|--0-------0--0----5-----4-----| before going back
g--2-2----2-0--|--1--2--1-1--1--4-----4-------| to the verse)
M
I'm going to Graceland. Graceland, Memphis, Tennessee,
I'm going to Gracland.
Poor boys and pilgrims with families
and we are going to Graceland.
My traveling companion is nine years old
He is the child of my first marriage,
But I've reason to believe we both will be received
In Graceland
