Oh [G] she dressed in the dark and she whispered [D] amen
She was [G] pretty in [C/E] pink like a [D] young girl [Em] again
Twenty years [G] married and she never thought [D] twice
She [G] sneeked out the [C/E] door And walked [D] into the [G] night
.
And [D] silver wings carried her [C/E] over the [G] sea
From the [D] west coast of Ireland to [C/E] West Tennes -[D]- see
To be with her [G] sweetheart, she left every [D] thing
From [G] Galway to [C/E] Graceland to [D] be with the [G] king
.
She was humming “Suspicion“ that's the song she liked [D] best
She had [G] Elvis I [C/E] Love You [D] Tattooed on her [Em] breast
.
As they landed in [G] Memphis, her heart beat so [D] fast
She'd [G] dreamed for so [C/E] long, Now she'd [D] see him at [G] last
.
She was [D] down by his graveside [C/E] day after [G] day
Come [D] closing time they would [C/E] pull her [D] away
To be with her [G] sweetheart, she'd left every [D] thing
From [G] Galway to [C/E] Graceland to [D] be with the [G] king
.
They came in their thousands from the whole human [D] race
To [G] pay their [C/E] respects at his [D] last resting [Em] place
.
But quietly she [G] knelt there and she told him her [D] dreams
She [G] thought that he [C/E] answered Or [D] that's how it [G] seemed
. .
Then they [D] dragged her away it was [C/E] handcuffs this
She was [G] pretty in [C/E] pink like a [D] young girl [Em] again
Twenty years [G] married and she never thought [D] twice
She [G] sneeked out the [C/E] door And walked [D] into the [G] night

And [D] silver wings carried her [C/E] over the [G] sea
From the [D] west coast of Ireland to [C/E] West Tennes -[D]- see
