[Verse 1]
D G D
Oh she dressed in the dark and she whispered amen
G C/E D Em
She was pretty in pink like a young girl again
D G D
Twenty years married and she never thought twice
G C/E D G
She sneeked out the door and walked into the night
[Verse 2]
D C/E G
And silver wings carried her over the sea
D C/E D
From the west coast of Ireland to West Tennessee
G D
To be with her sweetheart, she left every thing
G C/E D Em
She came from Galway to Graceland to be with the king
[Verse 3]
D G D
She sang Love me tender that's the song she liked best
G C/E D Em
She had Elvis I Love You Tattooed on her breast
D G D
When they landed in Memphis, her heart beat so fast
G C/E D G
She'd dreamed for so long, now she'd see him at last
[Verse 4]
D C/E G
She was down by his graveside day after day
D C/E D
Come closing time they would pull her away
G D
And To be with her sweetheart, oh she'd left every thing
G C/E D Em
From Galway to Graceland to be with the king
[Verse 5]
D G D
Ah They came in their thousands from the whole human race
G C/E D Em
To pay their respects at his last resting place
D G D
But blindly she knelt there and she told him her dreams
G C/E D G
She thought that he answered or that's how it seemed
[Verse 6]
D C/E G
Then they dragged her away it was handcuffs this time
D C/E D
She said my dear man, "Are you out of your mind?"
