Intro: G G G G Verse: G It's knowing that your door is always open Am Am And your path is free to walk Am That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag D G G Rolled up and stashed behind your couch G And it's knowing I'm not shackled By forgotten words and bonds And the ink stains Am Am That have dried upon some line
Chorus: Am E That keeps you in the backroads Am D By the rivers of my memory Am D G G And keeps you ever gentle on my mind Verse: G It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy planted Am Am On their columns now that binds me Am Or something that somebody said Because they thought D G G We fit together walking G It's just knowing that the world Will not be cursing or forgiving Am Am When I walk along some railroad track and find Chorus: Am E That you're moving on the backroads Am D By the rivers of my memory Am D G G G G And for hours you're just gentle on my mind Instrumental: G G Am Am Am Am G G G G Am Am Am Em Am D Am D G G G G Verse: G I dip my cup of soup back From the gurgling crackling cauldron Am Am In some train yard Am My beard a roughning coal pile and a dirty hat D G G Pulled low across my face G Through cupped hands around a tin can Am Am I pretend I hold you to my breast and find Am That you're waving from the backroads D By the rivers of my memory Am D G G Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind Outro: Am That you're waving from the backroads Am D By the rivers of my memory Am D G Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind G G G G G - FADE OUT -
