Gentle On My Mind Chords by Glen Campbell

[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
