(repeat intro 2x)
ch]G[/ch
It's knowin' that your door is always open
ch]Am[/ch
And your path is free to walk
ch]D[/ch
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag
Riff 1
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
ch]G[/ch
And it's knowin' I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
ch]Am[/ch
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
ch]D[/ch
That keeps you in the back roads
ch]D[/ch
By the rivers of my memory
Riff 1
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
ch]G[/ch
It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy
ch]Am[/ch
Planted on their columns now that bind me
ch]D[/ch
Or some-thing that somebody said be-cause
D [Riff 1]
They thought we fit together walkin'
ch]G[/ch
It's just knowing that the world
Will not be cursing or forgiving
ch]Am[/ch
When I walk along some railroad track and find
ch]D[/ch
That you're movin' on the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
Riff 1 twice
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
ch]G[/ch
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
ch]Am[/ch
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
ch]D[/ch
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
Riff 1
'cause she turned and I was gone
ch]G[/ch
I still might run in silence
Tears of joy might stain my face
ch]Am[/ch
And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind
ch]D[/ch
But not to where I cannot see
You walkin' on the back roads
Riff 1 twice
By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind
ch]G[/ch
I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' cracklin' cauldron
ch]Am[/ch
In some train yard
ch]D[/ch
My beard a rustlin' coal pile
Riff 1
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face
ch]G[/ch
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can
ch]Am[/ch
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
ch]D[/ch
That you're waitin' from the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
[Riff 1 twice] end on slow strum of G
Ever smilin', ever gentle on my mind
