The Band Perry - Gentle on my mind

It's ^Gknowing that your ^GM7/F#door is always o^Empen And your ^G/Dpath is free to walk ^Am Am AmM7 Am7 That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag Rolled up and ^Dstashed behind your^G couch And it's ^Gknowing I'm not ^GM7/F#shackled By fo^Emrgotten words and ^G/Dbonds And the ^Gink stains that are ^Gdried upon some ^Amline Am AmM7 That keeps you on the back roads By the ^Am7rivers of my ^Dmemory That ^Amkeeps you ever ^Dgentle on my ^Gmind

It's not ^Gclinging to the ^GM7/F#rocks and ivy ^EmPlanted on their ^G/Dcolumns now that ^Ambind me Am AmM7 Or something that somebody said Be^Am7cause they thought we ^Dfit together ^Gwalking It's just ^Gknowing that the ^GM7/F#world will not be ^Emcursing Or for^G/Dgiving when I ^Gwalk along some railroad track and ^Amfind Am AmM7 That you're moving on the back roads By the ^Am7rivers of my ^Dmemory And for ^Amhours you're just ^Dgentle on my ^Gmind

Though the ^Gwheat fields and the ^GM7/F#clothes lines And the ^Emjunkyards and the ^G/Dhighways come bet^Amween us Am AmM7 Am7 And some other woman's cryin' to her mother 'Cause she ^Dturned and I was ^G gone I ^Gstill might run in ^GM7/F#silence tears of ^Emjoy might stain my ^G/Dface And the ^Gsummer sun might burn me 'til I'm ^Amblind Am AmM7 Am7 D Oh but not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the back roads By the ^Amrivers flowing ^Dgentle on my ^Gmind

I ^Gdip my cup of ^GM7/F#soup back from a ^Emgurglin' Cracklin' ^G/Dcauldron in some ^Amtrain yard Am AmM7 Am7 My beard* a rustling, a cold towel, A dirty hat pulled ^Dlow across my ^Gface (across my face) Through ^Gcupped hands 'round the ^GM7/F#tin can I pre^Emtend to hold you ^G/Dto my breast and ^Amfind Am AmM7 That you're waiting from the back roads By the ^Am7rivers of my ^Dmemories Ever ^Amsmilin' ever ^Dgentle on my ^Gmind
