[INTRO]
G
[VERSE 1]
It's Gknowing that your GM7/F#door is always oEmpen
And your G/Dpath is free to walk Am
That Ammakes me tend to Ammaj7leave my sleeping Am7bag
Rolled up and Dstashed behind yourG couch
And it's Gknowing I'm not GM7/F#shackled
By foEmrgotten words and G/Dbonds
And the Gink stains that are Gdried upon some Amline
That Amkeeps you on the Ammaj7back roads
By the Am7rivers of my Dmemory
That Amkeeps you ever Dgentle on my Gmind
[VERSE 2]
It's not Gclinging to the GM7/F#rocks and ivy
EmPlanted on their G/Dcolumns now that Ambind me
Or Amsomething that someAmmaj7body said
BeAm7cause they thought we Dfit together Gwalking
It's just Gknowing that the GM7/F#world will not be Emcursing
Or forG/Dgiving when I Gwalk along some railroad track and Amfind
That you're Ammoving on the bacAmmaj7k roads
By the Am7rivers of my Dmemory
And for Amhours you're just Dgentle on my Gmind
[VERSE 3]
Though the Gwheat fields and the GM7/F#clothes lines
And the Emjunkyards and the G/Dhighways come betAmween us
And some Amother woman's Ammaj7cryin' to her Am7mother
'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
Oh but Amnot to where I Ammaj7cannot see you Am7walkin' on the Dback roads
By the Amrivers flowing Dgentle on my Gmind
[VERSE 4]
I Gdip my cup of GM7/F#soup back from a Emgurglin'
Cracklin' G/Dcauldron in some Amtrain yard
My Ambeard* a rustling,Ammaj7 a cold towel, Am7
A dirty hat pulled Dlow across my Gface (across my face)
Through Gcupped hands 'round the GM7/F#tin can
I preEmtend to hold you G/Dto my breast and Amfind
That you're Amwaiting from the Ammaj7back roads
By the Am7rivers of my Dmemories
Ever Amsmilin' ever Dgentle on my Gmind
[OUTRO]
Gentle on my mind
You are gentle on my Em/Gmind Emmaj7/G G
Em/GOoh Emmaj7/G G yeah G
