[INTRO]
G


[VERSE 1]
     G                 GM7/F#          Em
It's knowing that your door is always open
         G/D                  Am
And your path is free to walk
     Am               Ammaj7            Am7
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
              D                  G
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
         G               GM7/F#
And it's knowing I'm not shackled
     Em                G/D
By forgotten words and bonds
        G                   G               Am
And the ink stains that are dried upon some line
     Am               Ammaj7
That keeps you on the back roads
       Am7          D
By the rivers of my memory
     Am             D            G
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

[VERSE 2]
         G               GM7/F#
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
Em               G/D              Am
Planted on their columns now that bind me
   Am                 Ammaj7
Or something that somebody said
  Am7                   D            G
Because they thought we fit together walking
          G                GM7/F#            Em
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing
      G/D           G                                  Am
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find
            Am               Ammaj7
That you're moving on the back roads
       Am7          D
By the rivers of my memory
        Am                D            G
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind


[VERSE 3]
           G                    GM7/F#
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
        Em                G/D              Am
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
         Am            Ammaj7        Am7
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
           D                G
'Cause she turned and I was   gone
  G                  GM7/F#           Em                 G/D
I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face
        G                                 Am
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind
       Am             Ammaj7         Am7            D
Oh but not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the back roads
       Am             D            G
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind


[VERSE 4]
  G             GM7/F#           Em
I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin'
          G/D              Am
Cracklin' cauldron in some train yard
   Am                Ammaj7             Am7
My beard* a rustling,     a cold towel,
                   D             G
A dirty hat pulled low across my face (across my face)
        G                       GM7/F#
Through cupped hands 'round the tin    can
     Em               G/D              Am
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
            Am               Ammaj7
That you're waiting from the back roads
       Am7          D
By the rivers of my memories
     Am           D            G
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind


[OUTRO]

Gentle on my mind
                     Em/G Emmaj7/G G
You are gentle on my mind
Em/G Emmaj7/G G      G
Ooh             yeah
