Key: Eb major•
Verse 1
your door is always open
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
Bb
Eb
rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowin' I'm not shackled
by forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains
That keeps you in the back roads
Fm
Bb
Eb
It keeps you ever gentle on my mind
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
Fm
Planted on their columns now that bind me
Or something that somebody said
It's just knowing that
the world will not be
Cm
Eb
Cursing or forgiving
when I walk along
That you're moving on the back roads
By the rivers of my memory
Bb
Fm
And for hours you're just
Bb
Eb
gentle on my mind
Though the wheat fields
and the clothes lines
And the junkyards and the highways
And some other woman's crying
To her mother cause she turned
Bb
Eb
And I was gone I still
might run in silence
Cm
Eb
Tears of joy might stain my face
And a summer sun might
But not to where I cannot see you
Fm
Bb
Eb
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind
I dip my cup of soup back
Cm
Eb
From a gurglin' cracklin' cauldron
My beard a roughnin' coal pile
Through cupped hands round the tin can
Eb
Fm
to my breast and find
That you're waitin' from
the back roads
Bb
Eb
ever gentle on my mind
