outside the walls of graceland

from Everything Begins Here (Demos 2011) by Chris Taylor

My Tribe! exclusive

about

inspired by a photograph of me leaning against the walls outside graceland in memphis - back in 1997. "Elvis we can't cry hard enough" was part of the graffiti written on the stones.

lyrics

VERSE 1
A
Looking for Grace outside these walls
The human race can’t hear her at all
D
Stumbling through the darkness of the night
A
Finding safety under the neon lights
E D A – A7
Outside the walls… of Graceland

VERSE 2

With enemies like that – who needs friends?
Looking for someone – who I can depend
People used to sing your gospel songs
Now we can barely get along
Outside the walls… of Graceland

CHORUS
F#m
Elvis… we can’t cry hard enough
E
Filling our souls with the empty stuff
D
Prayin’ our prayers… from down in the dust
F#m
Who can we love? Who can we trust?
E D A
Outside the walls… of Graceland

PAGE 1 OF 2





VERSE 3

One stop shop – fit for a King
It’s here you can find almost anything
There’s a waiting line… outside the gates
Are you lonesome tonight… Heaven can wait
Outside the walls… of Graceland

VERSE 4

This world is filled with suspicious minds
On the mystery train… speeding through life
It’s now or never… will you love me tender?
You can hear a hound dog – cryin’ tonight?
Outside the walls… of Graceland

CHORUS
F#m
Elvis… we can’t cry hard enough
E
Filling our souls with the empty stuff
D
Prayin’ our prayers… from down in the dust
F#m
Who can we love? Who can we trust?
E D A
Outside the walls… of Graceland
E D A
Outside the walls… of Graceland
E D A
Outside the walls… of Graceland
