Gentle on My Mind

Gentle on My Mind 2

[G]It's knowin' that your door is always open And your path is free to [Am]walk That makes me tend to leave My sleepin' bag rolled up And [D]stashed behind your [G]couch And it's [G]knowin' I'm not shackled By forgotten words and bonds And the ink stains that have dried upon some [Am]line That keeps you in the back roads By the rivers of my [D]memory And keeps you ever gentle on my [G]mind

It's not [G]clingin' to the rocks and ivy Planted on their columns now that [Am]bind me Or somethin' that somebody said Because they thought we [D]fit together [G]walkin' It's just [G]knowin' that the world Will not be cursin' or forgivin' When I walk along some railroad track and [Am]find That you're movin' on the back roads By the rivers of my [D]memory And for [Am]hours you're just [D]gentle on my [G]mind

Though the [G]wheat fields and the coastlines And the junkyards and the highways come be[Am]tween us And some other woman's cryin' to her Mother 'Cause she [D]turned and I was [G]gone I [G]still might run in silence tears of joy Might stain my face And the Summer sun might burn me ‘til I'm [Am]blind But not to where I cannot see you Walkin' on the [D]back roads By the [Am]rivers flowin' [D]gentle on my [G]mind

I [G]dip my cup of soup Back from a gurglin', cracklin' cauldron In some [Am]train yard My beard a roughenin' coal pile And a dirty hat pulled [D]low across my [G]face Through [G]cupped hands 'round a tin can I pretend to hold you to my breast and [Am]find That you're wavin' from the Back roads by the rivers of my [D]memories Ever [Am]smilin', ever [G]gentle on my mind
