Intro: D  


[Verso 1]

D                      Dmaj7          D6  
It's knowing that your door is always open  
         Dmaj7           Em  Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7)  
And your path is free to walk  
     Em               Em(maj7)          Em7       
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag  
              A                   D    Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7                
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch  
         D               Dmaj7   
And it's knowing I'm not shackled  
   D6                  Dmaj7  
By forgotten words and bonds  
        D                   Dmaj7           Em   Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7)   
And the ink stains that are dried upon some line  



[Refrão]
     Em               Em(maj7)  
That keeps you in the backroads  
       Em7          A  
By the rivers of my memory  
     Em             A            D   Dmaj7 D6  
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind  


[Verso 2]

    Dmaj7    D               Dmaj7  
And It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy  
D6               Dmaj7            Em       Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7)  
Planted on their columns now that binds me  
    Em            Em(maj7)    
Or something that somebody said  
Em7                     A            D      Dmaj7 D6   
Because they thought we fit together walking  
 Dmaj7    D                Dmaj7             D6  
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing  
   Dmaj7            D               Dmaj7              Em  Em(maj7) Em7   
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find  




[Refrão]
Em(maj7)    Em            Em(maj7)         
That you're moving on the backroads  
       Em7          Em(maj7)  
By the rivers of my memory  
        Em                A            D    Dmaj7 D6  
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind  

(I'll play one)  

verse 3      

         D             Dmaj7              D6  
Or may I dip my cup of soup back from the gurglin'  
          Dmaj7           Em        Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7)  
Cracklin' caldron in some train yard  
        Em               Em(maj7)  
With my beard a roughing coal pile, and  
  Em7              A             D   Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7  
A dirty hat pulled low across my face  
        D                       Dmaj7   
Through cupped hands 'round the tin can  
  D6                  Dmaj7            Em  Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7)  
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find  

Outro  

            Em               Em(maj7)   
That you're waveing from the backroads  
       Em7          A  
By the rivers of my memory  
     Em           A            D                  Dmaj7        D6     Dmaj7  D    Dmaj7  A  D  
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind  And everbody here  You're gentle on my  mind
