Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Oh  she dressed in the dark
 And  she whispered Amen
 She  was pretty  in pink like  a young girl  again
 Twenty  years married
 But  she never thought twice
 She  sneaked out the  door and walked  into the night
 And  silver wings carried her  over the  sea
 >From  the west coast of Ireland  to west  Tennesee
 To  be with her sweetheart
 She  left everything
 >From  Galway  to Graceland to  be with the  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
 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
