Glen Campbell - Gentle on my mind

It's ^Cknowing that your ^Cmaj7door is always ^C6open and your ^Cmaj7path is free to ^Dmwalk ^{G7 Dm G7} that ^Dmmakes me tend to ^G7leave my sleeping ^Dmbag rolled up and ^G7stashed behind your ^Ccouch ^{Cmaj7 C6 Cmaj7} And it's ^Cknowing I'm not ^Cmaj7shackled by forg^C6otten words and ^Cmaj7bonds and the ^Cink stains that have ^Cmaj7dried upon some ^Dmline^{G7 Dm G7} That k^Dmeeps you in the ^G7backroads by the ^Dmrivers of my ^G7mem'ry, that^Dm keeps you ever ^G7gentle on my ^Cmind ^{Cmaj7 C6 Cmaj7}

It's ^Cnot clinging to th^Cmaj7e rocks and ivy ^C6Planted on the^Cmaj7ir columns now t^Dmhat b^G7ind me^{Dm G7} Or so^Dmmething that some^G7body said ^DmBecause they think^G7 we fit together wal^Ckin'. ^{Cmaj7 C6 Cmaj7} It's just^C knowing that th^Cmaj7e world will not^C6 be cursing or ^Cmaj7Forgiving, whe^Cn I walk along some r^Cmaj7ailroad track an^Dmd fi^G7nd ^{Dm G7} That y^Dmou're moving on ^G7the backroads by the ^DmRivers of my ^G7mem'ry, and ^Dmfor hours you're just ^G7Gentle on my ^Cmind ^{Cmaj7 C6 Cmaj7}

Thoug^Ch the wheat fields^Cmaj7 and the clothes lines and the ^C6Junkyards and ^Cmaj7the highways com^Dme bet^G7ween us^Dm, ^G7 And s^Dmome other woman's^G7 crying to her ^DmMother, 'cause she^G7 turned and I was go^Cne. ^{Cmaj7 C6 Cmaj7} I still m^Cight run in sile^Cmaj7nce, tears of jo^C6y might stain my ^Cmaj7Face, and the ^Csummer sun might burn^Cmaj7 me 'till I'm bl^Dmind ^{G7 Dm G7} But no^Dmt to where I can^G7not see you ^DmWalkin' on th^G7e backroads,^Dm by the rivers flowing ^G7Gentle on my ^Cmind ^{Cmaj7 C6 Cmaj7}

I dip^C my cup of soup ba^Cmaj7ck from the ^C6Gurglin', crac^Cmaj7klin' cauldron ^Dmin some ^G7trainyar^Dmd; ^G7 My be^Dmard a roughning c^G7oal pile and a ^DmDirty hat pulled l^G7ow across my ^Cface. ^{Cmaj7 C6 Cmaj7} Through c^Cupped hands 'rou^Cmaj7nd a tin can, I ^{C6 Cmaj7}Pretend I hold^C you to my ^Cmaj7breast and fi^Dmnd; ^{G7 Dm G7} That y^Dmou're waving fro^G7m the backroads by the ^DmRivers of my ^G7memory, ever^Dm smilin' ever ^G7Gentle on my ^Cmind.^{Cmaj7 C6 Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 C6 Cmaj7 C}
