This is a song Steve does quite often at the end of his shows.
The chords were nicked off of onefinebob, so you can thank him for that.
Only thing I did was tab the chords throughout the whole song,
and give the chords their proper names.
Chords defined at the end.
INTRO: C Cmaj7 Am/C Cmaj7
It's Cknowing that your Cmaj7door is always
Am/Copen and your paCmaj7th is free to waDmlk Dmmaj7 Dm7 Dmmaj7
that Dmmakes me tend to Dmmaj7leave my sleeping
Dm7bag rolled up and G7stashed behind your Ccouch Cmaj7 Cadd2 C
And it's Cknowing I'm not Cmaj7shackled by forgAm/Cotten words and
Cmaj7bonds and the Cink stains that have Cmaj7dried upon some DmlineDmmaj7 Dm7 Dmmaj7
That Dmkeeps you in the Dmmaj7backroads by the
Dm7rivers of my G7mem'ry, thatDm keeps you ever
G7gentle on my Cmind Cmaj7 Cadd2 C
It's Cnot clinging to the Cmaj7rocks and ivy
Am/CPlanted on their coCmaj7lumns now that biDmnd meDmmaj7 Dm7 Dmmaj7
Or Dmsomething that Dmmaj7somebody said
Dm7Because they think we G7fit together Cwalkin'.Cmaj7 Cadd2 C
It's just Cknowing that the Cmaj7world will not be Am/Ccursing or
Cmaj7Forgiving, when I Cwalk along some Cmaj7railroad track and DmfindDmmaj7 Dm7 Dmmaj7
That you're Dmmoving on the Dmmaj7backroads by the
Dm7Rivers of my G7mem'ry, and Dmfor hours you're just
G7Gentle on my Cmind Cmaj7 Cadd2 C
Though the Cwheat fields and the Cmaj7clothes lines and the
Am/CJunkyards and the hiCmaj7ghways come betwDmeen usDmmaj7, Dm7 Dmmaj7
And some Dmother woman Dmmaj7crying to her
Dm7Mother, 'cause she G7turned and I was Cgone. Cmaj7 Cadd2 C
I still might Crun in silence, Cmaj7tears of joy Am/Cmight stain my
Cmaj7Face, and the Csummer sun might Cmaj7burn me 'till I'm DmblinDmmaj7d, Dm7 Dmmaj7
But Dmnot to where I Dmmaj7cannot see you
Dm7Walkin' on the G7backroads, by the Dmrivers flowing
G7Gentle on my Cmind Cmaj7 Cadd2 C
I dip Cmy cup of soup Cmaj7back from the
Am/CGurglin', cracklin' caCmaj7uldron in some trDmain yDmmaj7ard; Dm7 Dmmaj7
My Dmbeard a roughning Dmmaj7coal pile and a
Dm7Dirty hat pulled G7low across my Cface. Cmaj7 Cadd2 C
Through Ccupped hands Cmaj7'round a Am/Ctin can I
Cmaj7Pretend I Chold you to my Cmaj7breast and DmfindDmmaj7 Dm7 Dmmaj7
That Dmyou're waving from the Dmmaj7backroads by the
Dm7Rivers of my G7memory, ever Dmsmilin' ever
G7Gentle on my Cmind.Cmaj7 Cadd2 C
