Gentle On My Mind Chords by Frank Sinatra

[Start]

[Verse]
A# A#maj7 A# A#maj7 A#
■  ■      ■  ■      ■ 
A#maj7                                    
It's knowin' that your door is always open
                         Cm7 
And your path is free to walk
C Cm7 Fsus4 F7
■ ■   ■     ■ 
Cm7           C                         Fsus4
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag  
              F7             A#         A#maj7
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch ■     
    A#maj7                       
And it's knowin' I'm not shackled
                             A#
By forgotten words and bonds ■ 
                                Cm7      
Ink stains that have dried upon some line
Fsus4 Cm7                             
■     That keeps you in the back roads
                 F        
By the rivers of my memory
Cm7            F7             A#      Dm7
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind ■  
G7                      C                    
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
Cmaj7                                   Dm7       
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
               G                 Dm7     
And some other woman's cryin' to her mama
G                       C       
'cause she turned and I was gone


[Chorus]
C                     
I still run in silence
Cmaj7                       Em7 
Tears of joy might stain my face
                              Dm7       Gsus4 Dm7
Summer sun might burn me till I'm blind ■     ■  


[Verse]
Dm7                          
But not to where I cannot see
Dm7                          
You walkin' on the back roads
              Gsus4          C          Em7
By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind ■  
A7 Dmaj7                     D                                 
■  I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' cracklin' cauldron
Em                
In some train yard
A7 Em                           
■  My beard a rustlin' coal pile
                                  D      
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face


[Chorus]
Dmaj7                                
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can
                                   Em      
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
     Em                                
That you're waitin' from the back roads
                 Em7      
By the rivers of my memory
             G              D  Dmaj7
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind 
D Dmaj7 D A

[Verse]
  D         A  D      
I still run in silence
F#m                             
Tears of joy might stain my face
Bm7            A         Bm               G    
And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind
A Em7 A Em
■ ■   ■ ■ 


[Outro]
                 Em7         
But not to where I cannot see
    G                   A    
You walkin' on the back roads
       A      Em7         Asus4  A7         D
By the rivers ■   flowin' gently on my mind ■
