It's knowing that your door
G6 G5
Is always open and your path
Am A9 Am A9 Am
Is free to walk
That makes me tend
Am7+ Am7
To leave my sleeping bag rolled up
D/F# G
And stashed behind your couch
G5
And it's knowing
G7+
I'm not shackled by
G6 G5
Forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that
Am A9 Am
Have dried upon some line
Am A9 Am)
Am7+
That keeps you on the back roads
Am7 D/F#
By the rivers of my memory
Am7 D/F# G
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

G G7+
It's not clinging to the rocks
G6 G5
And ivy planted on their columns
Am
Now that bind me
Am7+
Or something that somebody said
Am7 D/F#
Because they thought we fit
G
Together walkin'
G
It's just knowing
G7+
That the world will not be
G6 G5
Cursing or forgiving
When I walk along
Am
Some railroad track and find
Am7+
That you're moving on the back roads
Am7 D/F#
By the rivers of my memory
Am7
And for hours you're just
D/F# G
Gentle on my mind
G
Though the wheat fields
G7+
And the clothes lines
G6
And the junkyards
G5 Am
And the highways come between us
Am7+
And some other woman's crying
Am7
To her mother
D/F# G
'cause she turned and I was gone
G G7+
I still might run in silence
G6 G5
Tears of joy might stain my face
G
And summer sun might burn me
Am
Till I'm blind
Am7+
But not to where I cannot see
Am7 D/F#
You walkin' on the back roads
Am7
By the rivers
D/F# G
Flowing gentle on my mind
G G7+
I dip my cup of soup
G6
Back from the gurglin'
G5
Crackling cauldron
Am
In some train yard
Am7+
My beard, a rustling cold towel
Am7 D/F#
And a dirty hat pulled low
G
Across my face
G
Through cupped hands
G7+
'round a tin can
G6
I pretend I hold you
G Am
To my breast and find
Am7+
That you're wavin' from the back roads
Am7 D/F#
By the rivers of my memories
Am7
Ever smilin'
D/F# G
Ever gentle on my mind
Gentle on my mind
