Merle Haggard - From Graceland To The Promised Land Chords

G                         Am              C                 G
From the Sun years of the Fifties and the birth of rock and roll

D7                                  G
Millions screamed to see him do his thing

                  Am      C              G
Elvis touched the life of every ear that heard him

                           D7             G
And they couldn't help but listen when he sang

 
       C                             G
It's a long way from Memphis to that mansion in the sky

       D7                           G
But he kept his faith in Jesus all along

       C                              G             C
It's a long way from Graceland across Jordan to the Promised Land

    G             D7               G
But Jesus finally came to lead him home

 
                         Am            C                G
From the days of Love Me Tender to his momma's last farewell

D7                                  G
Some say he knew how long he had to stay

                      Am              C                G
His life was two days longer than the one who gave him life

                       D7            G
And he almost knew the number of the days
