Gentle on My Mind Chords by Dean Martin

[Start]

[Verse]
D                                           
■ It's knowin' that your door is always open
                      Em     
And your path is free to walk
Em                                         
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag
                      D                
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
D                                                             
And it's knowin' I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds
                                         Em       
And the ink stains that have dried up on some line
                               Em                        
It keeps you in the back roads by the rivers of my memory
                      D         
Keeps you ever gentle on my mind
D                                             
It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy planted
                     Em           
On their columns now that binds me
Em                             
Or somethin' that somebody said
                            D               
Because they thought we fit together walkin'
D                                                                
It's just knowin' that the world will not be cursin' or forgivin'
                                      Em      
When I walk along some railroad track and find


[Chorus]
                         Em                        
Movin' on the back roads by the rivers of my memory
                     A7             D       Bb
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind ■ 
Bb7 Eb                                              
■   Well I dip my cup of soup back from the gurglin'
                     Fm             
Cracklin' caldron in some train yard
Fm                             
My beard a roughenin' coal pile
Ab              Bb7        Eb             B B7
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face ■ ■ 
Em                           
Cupped hands 'round a tin can
                           Gbm            
I pretend I hold you to my breast and find
                                       Gbm7                     
That you're wavin' from the back roads by the river of my memory
             B7             Em      Gbm B
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind ■   ■
