Chords for Alison Krauss - Gentle On My Mind (Audio)

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ It's knowing that your door is [Am] always open [C] and your path is [Dm] free to walk _ _ _
_ _ That makes me [C#] tend to leave my [F] sleeping bag rolled up [G] and stashed behind [C] your couch _ _ _ _
And it's knowing I'm not shackled by [Am] forgotten words [C] and thoughts
And the ink stains that are dried upon [Dm] sunlight
_ That _ _ keeps you [C#] in the back roads [F] by the rivers of [G] my memory
And keeps you ever gentle [C] on my mind
_ _ _ [G] It's [C] not clinging to the rocks and [Am] ivy planted on [C] their palms [Dm] now that I'm here _
_ _ Or something [A] that somebody said [Dm] cause they thought [G] we fit [C] together walking
It's _ _ _ just knowing that the world will not [Am] be cursing [C] or forgiving
When I walk along some railroad [Dm] track and find
[Am] _ [Dm] _
_ That you're moving [A] on the back [Dm] roads by the rivers [G] of my memory
[Dm] And for hours [G] you're just gentle [C] on my mind
_ _ _ Though the wheat fields and the post lines and the junkyards and the highways [Dm] come between us _ _
_ _ And some other woman's crying to her mother [G] cause she turned and [C] you were gone
I _ _ _ _ still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sunlight burn me [Dm] till I'm blind
[Am] _ [Dm] _
_ _ But not to where I cannot see you walking [G] on the back roads [Dm] by the rivers [G] flowing gentle [C] on my mind
_ _ _ _ You dip your [Em] compass soup back from [Am] a gurgling [C] cracker cauldron [Dm] in some train yard _ _
_ _ Your deodorant [C#] and coal pile [Dm] and the dirty high [G] pole blow [C] across your face _ _ _ _ _
Through comptons round a tin can [Am] I pretend to hold [C] you to my [Dm] breast and find
_ _ _ That you're waving from [D] the back roads [Dm] by the rivers of [G] my memories
[Dm] Ever smiling, ever [G] gentle [C] on my mind _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ [C] _
