[D] [F#m] [D]
It's knowing that your door is [Bm] always open [D] and your path is [Em] free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag rolled up and stashed behind [D] your couch
[F#m] And [D] it's knowing I'm not shackled by [Bm] forgotten words [F#m] and bonds
[Bm] And the ink stains [F#m] that have dried up on [Em] some lines
It keeps you in a back row by the rivers of my memory
It keeps you [A] ever jittery [D] on the mind
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy planted on their columns now [Em] that binds me
Or something that somebody said because they thought [A] we'd fit [D] together walking
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing nor forgiving
When I walk along some railroad track [Em] and find
Moving on a back row by the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're [A] just jittery on [D] the mind
[A#] Well [D#] I'd get my cup of soup back [Cm] from the gurgling track [D#m] and cobbling in [Fm] some train yard
My beard a rough [C] and cold pile and [Fm] a dirty hat [A#] pulled low across [D#] my face
[B] [E] Cup hands round a tin can I pretend I hold you to my breast [F#m] and find
That you're waving from the back row by the river of my memory
Ever smiling, [B] ever gentle [E] on the mind
[F#m]
Ever smiling, ever gentle on the mind
[B]
It's knowing that your door is [Bm] always open [D] and your path is [Em] free to walk

[F#m] And [D] it's knowing I'm not shackled by [Bm] forgotten words [F#m] and bonds
[Bm] And the ink stains [F#m] that have dried up on [Em] some lines
It keeps you in a back row by the rivers of my memory
It keeps you [A] ever jittery [D] on the mind
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy planted on their columns now [Em] that binds me
Or something that somebody said because they thought [A] we'd fit [D] together walking
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing nor forgiving
When I walk along some railroad track [Em] and find
Moving on a back row by the rivers of my memory
And for hours you're [A] just jittery on [D] the mind

[B] [E] Cup hands round a tin can I pretend I hold you to my breast [F#m] and find
That you're waving from the back row by the river of my memory

Ever smiling, ever gentle on the mind
