Gentle On My Mind - Glen Campbell | Guitar Chords | VChords

[Intro]
---------------------
D#

[Verse 1]
---------------------
     D#
It's knowing that your door is always open
                             Fm
And your path is free to walk
                                                                 A#7
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag Rolled up and stashed
                 D#
behind your couch
And it's knowing I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
                                            Fm
And the ink stains that are dried upon some line
That keeps you in the backroads
                      A#7
By the rivers of my memory
     Fm                 A#7          D#
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

[Verse 2]
---------------------
         D#
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
                                      Fm
Planted on their columns now that bind  me
Or something that somebody said
                           A#7            D#
Because they thought we fit  together walking
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing
                                                       Fm
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find
That you're moving on the backroads
                      A#7
By the rivers of my memory
    Fm                       A#7           D#
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

[Verse 3]
---------------------
           D#
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
                                               Fm
And the junkyards and the highways come between  us
                                                             A#7
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother 'Cause she turned
              D#
and I was gone
I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face
                                          Fm
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see
                       A#7
You walkin' on the backroads
       Fm                A#7           D#
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind

[Verse 4]
---------------------
  D#
I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin'
                               Fm
Cracklin' caldron in some train  yard
My beard a roughening coal pile,
                          A#7             D#
And a dirty hat pulled low  across my face
Through cupped hands 'round the tin can
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
Fm
  That you're waiting from the backroads
                      A#7
By the rivers of my memories
     Fm              A#7
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind
