THE DEAD MILKMEN
Going To Graceland

from Bucky Fellini

Tabbed by: Ben Gladdle (moose9377@hotmail.com)


This one's pretty simple chord wise... The tricky bit (which I
still can't work out) is the variation on the D chord in the
verse. If anyone has any ideas, please mail me! Otherwise,
enjoy what's here for the moment, cause I think the rest of
it works fine.

Chorus:
------
D
Goin' to Graceland
We're goin' today!
I'm so happy I just can't wait!
Bm            D           A
Gonna see the place where Elvis Presley died


Verse:
-----
C
When we get to Graceland
      G
We'll have to ride a bus
     D
We'd better watch our language
       A
Or the guards will beat us up
      C
We'll get to make some cheap jokes
        Bm
And buy cheaper souvenirs
   Em              Esus
If this were Disneyworld
          Em            Bm
I'd buy a pair of Elvis ears
     C
They say it costs eight-fifty
G
Just to see his house
      D#                D#sus4 D#
Where they keep all his records
        Bb
And his fifteen foot long couch
   F
It might seem like a rip-off
        C
But I'm goin' anyway
      B7
We're goin' to Graceland today


chorus:
Goin' to Graceland
It's gonna be great!
I'm so happy I just can't wait!
Gonna see the bucket that Elvis Presley kicked

chorus:
Goin' to Graceland
It's gonna be fun
We'll get to see all Elvis's guns
Gonna tell us all about his favourite TV shows

chorus:
Goin' to Graceland
We'll stand in line
We'll get to have a wild time
Gonna get to buy Love Me Tender Shampoo

verse:
When my time comes
That's how I wanna go -
Stoned and fat and wealthy
And sitting on the bowl
Lots of people say
That it's sad The King is gone
Well Elvis might be dead
But his cash flow lives on
I'll be so excited
When I see the Jungle Room
Where Elvis made some records
Including Moody Blue
Graceland is callin'
And I just can't stay away
We're goin' to Graceland today

chorus:
Goin' to Graceland
We're gonna cut loose
There's plenty of tourists for us to use
Gonna act real stupid and try to pick up girls

chorus:
Goin' to Graceland
We're gonna go wild
We'll go to his grave and try to smile
Gonna buy velvet paintings and Elvis Presley forks

chorus:
Goin' to Graceland
We're goin' to Graceland (x3)

chorus:
Goin' to Graceland
We're going to Hell
We're gonna sing Heartbreak Hotel
Gonna see the uniform that Elvis Presley wore


Last Bit:
--------
G           D
What are we waitin' for?
A
Let's leave right now
      G        F#m
We're goin' to Graceland
    Bm           A
And I don't care how
G          D
E Pluribus Elvis
A
That's what I say
      G        F#m         Bm    Bm Bm
We're goin' to Graceland today

End on 2 strums of the Bm.
