[INTRO]
G+G
[VERSE 1]
G+G GM7/F# 
E minorEm
It's knowing that your door is always open
G/DG/D 
A minorAm
And your path is free to walk
A minorAm 
AmMaj7Ammaj7 
Am7Am7
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
D MajorD G+G
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
G+G GM7/F#
And it's knowing I'm not shackled
E minorEm G/DG/D
By forgotten words and bonds
G+G G+G A minorAm
And the ink stains that are dried upon some line
A minorAm AmMaj7Ammaj7
That keeps you on the back roads
Am7Am7 D MajorD
By the rivers of my memory
A minorAm D MajorD G+G
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
[VERSE 2]
G+G GM7/F#
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
E minorEm G/DG/D A minorAm
Planted on their columns now that bind me
A minorAm AmMaj7Ammaj7
Or something that somebody said
Am7Am7 D MajorD G+G
Because they thought we fit together walking
G+G GM7/F# E minorEm
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing
G/DG/D G+G A minorAm
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find
A minorAm AmMaj7Ammaj7
That you're moving on the back roads
Am7Am7 D MajorD
By the rivers of my memory
A minorAm D MajorD G+G
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
[VERSE 3]
G+G GM7/F#
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
E minorEm G/DG/D A minorAm
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
A minorAm AmMaj7Ammaj7 Am7Am7
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
D MajorD G+G
'Cause she turned and I was gone
G+G GM7/F# E minorEm G/DG/D
I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face
G+G A minorAm
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind
A minorAm AmMaj7Ammaj7 Am7Am7 D MajorD
Oh but not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the back roads
A minorAm D MajorD G+G
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind
[VERSE 4]
G+G GM7/F# E minorEm
I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin'
G/DG/D A minorAm
Cracklin' cauldron in some train yard
A minorAm AmMaj7Ammaj7 Am7Am7
My beard* a rustling, a cold towel,
D MajorD G+G
A augmentedA dirty hat pulled low across my face (across my face)
G+G GM7/F#
Through cupped hands 'round the tin can
E minorEm G/DG/D A minorAm
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
A minorAm AmMaj7Ammaj7
That you're waiting from the back roads
Am7Am7 D MajorD
By the rivers of my memories
A minorAm D MajorD G+G
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind
[OUTRO]
Gentle on my mind
Em/GEm/G Emmaj7/G G+G
You are gentle on my mind
Em/GEm/G Emmaj7/G G+G G+G
Ooh yeah
