VERSE 1:
                      G     C   G
Oh she dressed in the dark
               D
And whispered Amen
        G         C           D           C
She was pretty in pink like a young girl again
             G      C   G
Twenty years married
                      D
But she never thought twice
        G               C               D        G     C   G   C
She had sneaked out the door and walked into the night

CHORUS:
    D                        C        G
And silver wings carried her over the sea
         D                        C         D
From the west coast of Ireland to West Tennesee
                  G         C   G
Ah to be with her sweetheart
              D
She left everything
     G         C            D           C
From Galway to Graceland to be with the King

VERSE 2:
                   G       C   G
She was humming "Suspicion"
                          D
It was the song she liked best
         G       C           D            C
She had "Elvis I love you" tatooed on her breast
               G       C   G
They landed in Memphis
                  D
Her heart beat so fast
      G              C               D          G     C   G   C
She'd dreamed for so long, now she'd see him at last

CHORUS 2:
        D                     C         G
She was down by his graveside day after day
D                            C         D
Come closing time they would drag her away
               G         C   G
To be with her sweetheart
              D
She left everything
     G         C            D           C
From Galway to Graceland to be with the King


VERSE 3:
                   G        C   G
They came in their thousands
                     D
From the whole human race
   G         C               D            C
To pay their respects at his last resting place
                   G           C   G
Ah but blindly she knealt there
                     D
And she told him her dreams
    G               C            D             G     C   G   C
She thought that he answered, or that's how it seemed


CHORUS 3:
         D                       C              G
And they dragged her away, using handcuffs this time
        D                           C           D
And she says "My young man, are you out of your mind?"
                      G       C   G
Don't you know we are married?
                    D
See I'm wearing his ring
        G         C            D           C
Ah from Galway to Graceland to be with the King
               G         C            D           C     G   C  G
I've come from Galway to Graceland to be with the King
