but my arm is kind of blocking you and it's kind of odd.
I like the big wing though.
It's like you're gonna fly away.
Coffee cheers.
This week we are doing Gentle on My Mind, a John Hartford tune
made even more famous by Glenn Campbell.
Yeah, I have to say I actually never had the lyrics register until I heard you singing this
the other day.
So that's kind of fun.
Because of my beard a rufflin.
Because you have a rufflin beard.
Yeah.
And I have a cracklin cauldron.
I do like a good cracklin [G] cauldron.
[Bm]
[G] It's knowing [Bm] that your door is always [B] open and your [G] path is free to [Am] walk.
[C] [Am] [C]
[Am] That makes me tend to leave my [C] sleeping bag rolled up and stashed [Bm] behind your couch.
[D] [G]
And it's knowing I'm not shackled by [Em] forgotten words and bonds
and the ink stains that are dried upon [Am] some line.
That keeps you on the back roads by the rivers of my [D] memory.
It keeps you ever gentle [G] on my mind.
[Em] [G]
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 [E] we fit [G] together walking.
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiving
when I walk along some railroad track [Am] and find
that you're moving on the back roads by the rivers of my [E] memory.
And for hours you're just gentle [G] on my mind.
Though the wheat fields and the [Em] clotheslines and the junkyards and [G] the highways [Em] come between us.
And some other woman crying to [D] her mother because she [G] turned and I was gone.
I still might run in silence.
Tears of joy might stain my face.
And the summer sun might burn me [Em] till I'm blind.
But not [E] to where I cannot see you walking on the back roads
by the rivers flowing gentle [G] on my mind.
I dip my cup of soup back from a gurgling crack and cauldron in some [C] train yard.
[Em] My beard a roughening coal pile [D] and a dirty [D] hat pulled low [G] across my face.
Through cup hands round the sink can I pretend to hold you to my [Em] breast and find
that you're waiting on the back [E] roads by the rivers of my memory.
Ever smiling, ever gentle [G] on my mind.
Happy [Em] Sunday morning.
Hope you enjoyed that.
If you're new around here and you just stumbled on this video, I'm Elle.
I'm Toni.
And we do this Sunday mornings.
Please come back.

We'd love to sing you another [Ebm] song.
