GENTLE ON MY MIND CHORDS
[Start] [Verse] Eb Cm ■ It's knowin' that your door is always open Eb Fm And your path is free to walk Fm That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag rolled up Bb Eb And stashed behind your couch Eb And it's knowin' I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds Fm And the ink stains that are dried upon some line Fsus4 Bb That keeps you in the back roads by the rivers of my memory F7 Bb Eb And keeps you ever gentle on my mind Eb It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy Fm Planted on their columns now that bind me Fm Or somethin' that somebody said Bb Eb Because they thought we fit together walkin' Eb It's just knowin' that the world will not be cursin' or forgivin' Fm When I walk along some railroad track and find Bb That you're movin' on the back roads by the rivers of my memory F7 Bb Eb And for hours you're just gentle on my mind Eb Though the wheat fields and the clotheslines Fm And the junkyards and the highways come between us Fm7 Cm7 And some other woman's cryin' to her mother Fm7 Bb Eb 'cause she turned and I was gone [Chorus] Eb I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face Fm And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind Csus4 C7 Fm7 Bb But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the back roads Fsus4 Bb Eb By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind Eb I dip my cup of soup Cm Fm Back from a gurglin' cracklin' cauldron in some train yard Fm My beard a roughenin' coal pile C7 Bb Eb And a dirty hat pulled low across my face Eb Through cupped hands 'round the tin can Cm Fm I pretend to hold you to my breast and find C7 Cm7 Bb That you're waitin' from the back roads by the rivers of my memories Eb Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind [Outro]
