INTRO: C Cmaj7 C6 Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 It's knowing that your door is always C6 Cmaj7 Dm Dmmaj7 Dm7 Dmmaj7 open and your path is free to walk Dm Dmmaj that makes me tend to leave my sleeping Dm7 G7 C Cmaj7 C9 C bag rolled up and stashed behind your couch C Cmaj7 C6 And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and Cmaj7 C Cmaj7 Dm Dmmaj7 Dm7 Dmmaj7 bonds and the ink stains that have dried upon some line Dm Dmmaj7 That keeps you in the backroads by the Dm7 G7 Dm rivers of my mem'ry, that keeps you ever G7 C Cmaj7 C9 C gentle on my mind It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy Planted on their columns now that bind me Or something that somebody said Because they think we fit together walkin'. It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or Forgiving, when I walk along some railroad track and find That you're moving on the backroads by the Rivers of my mem'ry, and for hours you're just Gentle on my mind Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines and the Junkyards and the highways come between us, And some other woman crying to her Mother, 'cause she turned and I was gone. I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my Face, and the summer sun might burn be 'till I'm blind, But not to where I cannot see you Walkin' on the backroads, by the rivers flowing Gentle on my mind I dip my cup of soup back from the Gurglin', cracklin' cauldron in some trainyard; My beard a roughning coal pile and a Dirty had pulled low across my face. Through cupped hands 'round a tin can I Pretend I hold you to my breast and find That you're waving from the backroads by the Rivers of my memory, ever smilin' ever Gentle on my mind. C: x32010 Cmaj7: x32000 C6: x322x0 (I use the finger on the G string to mute the B string. C9: x32030 It makes for a faster change between the Cmaj7 and C6) Dm: xx0231 Dmmaj7:xx0221 Dm7: xx0211 G7: 320001 ===========================================================================
