INTRO: G Gmaj7 G6 Gmaj7
It's Gknowing that your Gmaj7door is always
G6open and your Gmaj7path is free to Amwalk Dmmaj7 Am7 Dmmaj7
that Ammakes me tend to Dmmajleave my sleeping
Am7bag rolled up and D7stashed behind your Gcouch Gmaj7 G9 G
And it's Gknowing I'm not Gmaj7shackled by forgG6otten words and
Gmaj7bonds and the Gink stains that have Gmaj7dried upon some AmlineDmmaj7 Am7 Dmmaj7
That kAmeeps you in the Dmmaj7backroads by the
Am7rivers of my D7mem'ry, thatAm keeps you ever
D7gentle on my Gmind Gmaj7 G9 G
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns now that bind me
Or something that somebody said
Because they think we fit together walkin'.
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or
Forgiving, when I walk along some railroad track and find
That you're moving on the backroads by the
Rivers of my mem'ry, and for hours you're just
Gentle on my mind
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines and the
Junkyards and the highways come between us,
And some other woman crying to her
Mother, 'cause she turned and I was gone.
I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my
Face, and the summer sun might burn be 'till I'm blind,
But not to where I cannot see you
Walkin' on the backroads, by the rivers flowing
Gentle on my mind
I dip my cup of soup back from the
Gurglin', cracklin' cauldron in some trainyard;
My beard a roughning coal pile and a
Dirty had pulled low across my face.
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can I
Pretend I hold you to my breast and find
That you're waving from the backroads by the
Rivers of my memory, ever smilin' ever
Gentle on my mind.
