SONG: GENTLE ON MY MIND ARTIST: LUCINDA WILLIAMS TAB BY: DON CZARSKI EMAIL: [email protected] [Intro] G G G G [Verse]
      G
It's knowing that your door is always open

                          Am    Am
And your path is free to walk

      Am
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag

               D                   G      G
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch

          G
And it's knowing I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds And the ink stains
                           Am   Am
That have dried upon some line
[Chorus]
      Am               E
That keeps you in the backroads

        Am           D
By the rivers of my memory

     Am             D            G    G
And keeps you ever gentle on my mind
[Verse]
          G
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy planted

                           Am       Am
On their columns now that binds me

    Am
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought
    D            G       G
We fit together walking

           G
It's just knowing that the world
Will not be cursing or forgiving
                                           Am    Am
When I walk along some railroad track and find
[Chorus]
             Am            E
That you're moving on the backroads

        Am           D
By the rivers of my memory

         Am                D            G    G    G    G
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
[Instrumental] G G Am Am Am Am G G G G Am Am Am Em Am D Am D G G G G [Verse]
   G
I dip my cup of soup back
From the gurgling crackling cauldron
         Am         Am
In some train yard

     Am
My beard a roughning coal pile and a dirty hat

        D             G    G
Pulled low across my face

         G
Through cupped hands around a tin can

                                       Am   Am
I pretend I hold you to my breast and find

             Am
That you're waving from the backroads

                     D
By the rivers of my memory

      Am           D            G    G
Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind
[Outro]
             Am
That you're waving from the backroads

        Am           D
By the rivers of my memory

      Am           D            G
Ever smiling ever gentle on my mind
