Here's a valuable link to many Richard Thompson tunes (some with chords, others with TAB) residing at OLGA. Good hunting and good luck. I'm always glad to meet another Thompson fan. |

10 Aug 99 - 06:54 AM (#103632) Subject: From: Knut Slettemo, Notodden Norway Hi folks. I went to a great consert last saturday with one of Irelands finest singers, Sean Keane. It was one of the best conserts I've ever been to, and I've been to a lot! I play guitar and sing a bit myself, and I really would like to get the lyrics and cords to as many of the songs he sings as possible. One of my favorites at the consert was the Richard Thompson-tune "From Galway to Graceland", from Keanes "Turn a phrase"-album.That is by the way a fab album. A perfect 10! Thank you Ireland for all the great music, and thank you folks for all the help you hopefully can give me. |

07 Apr 00 - 05:42 AM (#208224) Subject: Lyr Add: FROM GALWAY TO GRACELAND (R Thompson) From: GUEST,Simon ( edstcysc@edu.hants.gov.uk ) I suspect it's FROM GALWAY TO GRACELAND by the incomparable Richard Thompson. It's on his "Watching the Dark" box, a live version on "Two Letter Words" and Plainsong cover it on a tribute to him CD the title of which escapes me right now. Goes something like: Well, she dressed in the dark, and she whispered "amen." She was pretty in pink like a young girl again. Twenty years married, and she never thought twice. She sneaked out the door (or she picked up her bags) and walked into the night. And silver wings carried her over the sea, From the west coast of Ireland to west Tennessee. Just to be with her sweetheart, oh, 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' tattooed on her breast. When she landed in Memphis, oh, her heart beat so fast. She'd dreamed for so long. Now she'd see him at last. She knelt by his graveside day after day. Come closing time, they would pull her away. Just to be with her sweetheart, oh, she left everything From Galway to Graceland to be with the King. Well, in their thousands they came there from the whole human race, To pay their respects at his last resting place. Ah, but blindly she knelt there, and she told him her dreams, And she thought that he answered, or that's how it seemed. When they dragged her away, it was handcuffs this time. She said, "My good man, are you out of your mind? Don't you know that we're married? See, 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." Typical, glorious Thompson -- sweet-lady-turns-out-to-be-nutter....

07 Apr 00 - 11:44 PM (#208712) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: From ? to Graceland by Sean Keane From: GUEST,John of the Hill I would guess that the tribute album Simon had in mind is "The World Is A Wonderful Place" released by Green Linnet.

16 Mar 10 - 09:44 AM (#2865214) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: From Galway to Graceland (R Thompson) From: Keith A of Hertford I think it was composed to accompany a radio play. There certainly was a play telling the story and the song was used throughout. |

Interestingly although words above are pretty much what I'd heard previously, in this clip Richard sings "She sang Love me tender" rather than "She was humming Suspicion". |
