Intro
[C] [C] [C] [C]
Verse 1
It's [C]knowing that your [Cmaj7]door is always
[C6]Open and your [Cmaj7]path is free to [Dm]walk
That [Dm]makes me tend to [Dmmaj7]leave my sleeping
[Dm7]Bag rolled up and [G7]stashed behind your [C]couch
And it's [C]knowing I'm not [Cmaj7]shackled by [C6]forgotten words and [Cmaj7]bonds
And the [C]ink stains that are [Cmaj7]dried upon some[Dm] line
That [Dm]keeps you in the [Dmmaj7]backroads by the
[Dm7]Rivers of my [G7]mem'ry, that [Dm]keeps you ever
[G7]Gentle on my [C]mind
Verse 2
It's not [C]clinging to the [Cmaj7]rocks and ivy
[C6]Planted on their [Cmaj7]columns now that [Dm]bind me
Or [Dm]something that [Dmmaj7]somebody said
[Dm7]Because they thought we [G7]fit together [C]walkin'
It's just [C]knowing that the [Cmaj7]world will not be [C6]cursing or [Cmaj7]forgiving
when I [C]walk along some [Cmaj7]railroad track and[Dm] find
That you're [Dm]moving on the [Dmmaj7]backroads by the
[Dm7]Rivers of my [G7]mem'ry, and for [Dm]hours you're just
[G7]Gentle on my [C]mind
Verse 3
Though the [C]wheat fields and the [Cmaj7]clothes lines and the
[C6]Junkyards and the [Cmaj7]highways come [Dm]between us
And some [Dm]other woman's [Dmmaj7]crying to her [Dm7]mother
'Cause she [G7]turned and I was [C]gone
I [C]still might run in [Cmaj7]silence, tears of [C6]joy might stain my [Cmaj7]face
And the [C]summer sun might [Cmaj7]burn me till I'm[Dm] blind
But [Dm]not to where I [Dmmaj7]cannot see you
[Dm7]Walkin' on the [G7]backroads, by the [Dm]rivers flowing
[G7]Gentle on my [C]mind
Verse 4
I [C]dip my cup of [Cmaj7]soup back from a
[C6]Gurglin', cracklin' [Cmaj7]cauldron in some[Dm] trainyard;
My [Dm]beard a roughning [Dmmaj7]coal pile and a
[Dm7]Dirty hat pulled [G7]low across my [C]face
Through [C]cupped hands 'round a [Cmaj7]tin can I
[C6]Pretend I hold you [Cmaj7]to my breast and[Dm] find
That you're [Dm]waiting from the [Dmmaj7]backroads by the
[Dm7]Rivers of my [G7]memories, ever [Dm]smilin', ever
[G7]Gentle on my [C]mind
