[Db]
Let's know that your door is [Bbm] always open and [Db] your path is [Ebm] free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my [Gb] sleeping bag rolled up [Ab] and stashed behind [Db] your couch
Let's know a love [Fm] not shackled by [Bbm] forgotten words [Db] and bonds
And the ink stains that are dried upon [Ebm] some lie
That keeps you on the back roads by the rivers [Ab] of my memory
[Ebm] That keeps you [Ab] ever gentle on [Db] my mind
It's not clinging to [Fm] the rocks and [Bbm] ivy planted on [Db] their columns now [Ebm] that bind me
Or something that [Gb] somebody said [Ebm] because they thought [Ab] we fit [Db] together a walk in
It's just knowing that [Fm] the world will not [Bbm] be [Db] cursed nor forgiven
When the world belongs to a railroad [Ebm] track and find
That you're moving on [Gb] the back roads [Ebm] by the rivers of [Ab] my memory
[Ebm] Ever I was your [Ab] just gentle on [Db] my mind
Oh the wheat fields and the clotheslines and [Bbm] the junkyards and [Db] the highways come [Ebm] between us
And some other [Gb] woman's crying to [Ebm] her mother cause [Ab] she turned and I [Db] was gone
I feel my run of silence, tears [Bbm] of joy might stain [Db] my face
And the summer sun might burn me till [Ebm] I'm gone
Oh but not where [Bb] I cannot see [Ebm] you walking on [Ab] the back roads [Ebm] by the rivers flowing [Ab] gentle on my [Db]
mind
Lying in my cup, a soup bag from a burglary crack we called an [Ebm] empty train yard
Non theater, I slid a [Bb] cold [Ebm] towel, a dirty hat [Ab] below and crossed [Db] my face
Through cupboards and the tin can I [Bbm] pretend to hold [Db] you till my [Ebm] breath's confined
Oh that you're waiting from [Bb] the back roads [Ebm] by the rivers of [Ab] my memory
[Ebm] Ever smiling, [Ab] ever gentle on [Db] my mind
Gentle on my mind
You are gentle on my mind
Let's know that your door is [Bbm] always open and [Db] your path is [Ebm] free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my [Gb] sleeping bag rolled up [Ab] and stashed behind [Db] your couch
Let's know a love [Fm] not shackled by [Bbm] forgotten words [Db] and bonds
And the ink stains that are dried upon [Ebm] some lie
That keeps you on the back roads by the rivers [Ab] of my memory
[Ebm] That keeps you [Ab] ever gentle on [Db] my mind
It's not clinging to [Fm] the rocks and [Bbm] ivy planted on [Db] their columns now [Ebm] that bind me
Or something that [Gb] somebody said [Ebm] because they thought [Ab] we fit [Db] together a walk in
It's just knowing that [Fm] the world will not [Bbm] be [Db] cursed nor forgiven
When the world belongs to a railroad [Ebm] track and find

[Ebm] Ever I was your [Ab] just gentle on [Db] my mind

Gentle on my mind
You are gentle on my mind
