Richard Thompson, from the CD "Watching the Dark"
transcribed by phillip@phoenix.princeton.edu
I play this with a dropped D (EBGDAD) tuning, capoed at the 4th fret.
I'm not sure what tuning RT uses, but I know he played this with a capo.
You can fool with open string runs based on a D/F# chord.
DOh she dressed in the Ddark
And she whispered AAmen
She was Dpretty in G/Bpink like a Ayoung girl aDgain
DTwenty years marriDed
But she never thought Atwice
She Dsneaked out the G/Bdoor and walked Ainto the Dnight
And Asilver wings carried her G/Bover the Dsea
>From Athe west coast of IrelandG/B to west TDennesee
To be with her sweetDheart
She left everyAthing
>FDrom GalwayG/B to GracelandA to be with Dthe King
She was humming "Suspicion"
That's the song she liked best
She had "Elvis I love you" tatooed on her breast
They landed in Memphis
Her heart beat so fast
She'd dreamed for so long, now she'd see him at last
She was down by his graveside day after day
Come closing time they would drag her away
To be with her sweetheart
She left everything
>From Galway to Graceland to be with the King
Solo
They came in the thousands
>From the whole human race
To pay their respects at his last resting place
Ah but blindly she knealt there
And she told him her dreams
And she thought that he answered, or that's how it seemed
And they dragged her away, it was handcuffs this time
She said my dear man, "Are you out of your mind'"
Can't you see that we're married'
I'm wearing his ring
I've come from Galway to Graceland to be with the King
>From Galway to Graceland to be with the King
