Gentle On My Mind Chords

Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

It's Cknowing that your Emdoor is always Copen

and your Empath is free to Dmwalk.

That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag

rolled up and Gstashed behind your CcouchEm. C Em

And it's Cknowing I'm not Emshackled by Cforgotten

words and Embonds..

and the Cink stains that have Emdried up on some Dmline..

that keeps you in the back roads by the rivers

of my memory..

that keeps you ever Ggentle on my Cmind.Em C Em

It's not Cclinging to the Emrocks and ivy Cplanted on

their Emcolumns now, that Dmbinds me.

Or something that somebody said because they thought

we Gfit together, Cwalking.Em C Em

It's just Cknowing that the Emworld will not be

Ccursing or Emforgiving when I Cwalk along some Emrailroad track

and Dmfind...

that you're moving on the back roads by the rivers of my memory..

and for hours you're just Ggentle on my CmindEm. C Em

Well, I C♯dip my cup of Fmsoup back from the C♯gurgling crackling

Fmcaldron in some D♯mtrain yard.

My beard a roughening coal pile and a dirty hat pulled low

G♯across my C♯face. Fm C♯ Fm

Through C♯cupped hands round a Fmtin can..I C♯pretend I hold you Fmto my

breast and D♯mfind...

that you're waving from the back roads, by the river of my memory,

ever G♯smiling ever gentle on my C♯mind.
