hear me well.
I think the farmers are general in everybody's mind today.
[D] I know it is on mine.
Well isn't knowing that your door is always open and your path is free [Em] to walk
makes me gently leave my sleeping back road [A] inside my [D] own car.
And isn't knowing I'm not shackled
by forgotten words and bonds that leads me to try to [Em] once in my life.
That keeps in all the black
roads by the rivers of my memory.
It keeps you emotional on [D] my mind.
And it's not singing through
the rocks and ivy and down and down their column [Em] now that bind me.
Or something that somebody says
because they [A] thought we'd get together [D] walking.
You know what it is friend.
It's knowing that
this world will not be just for forgiving.
When I walk along some railroad [Em] track and find
that you'll be back though by the rivers of my memory and for [A] hours you're just in a long line.

Far away I took my couple suit back from a burglary and cracking cordon [Em] in some train yard.
With my beard ruffling in a coal pile and a dirty hat [A] full of wool across [D] my face.
Well I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain the face.
And a summer sun might burn me till [Em] I'm blind.
But nothing I cannot see walking [A] on the back road
[Em] by the rivers [A] flowing gentle tones of mine.
[D]
[B] You've got [A] to try a little kindness.
[G] I'll just show a [D] little kindness.
[G] Put a shiny [D] light for everyone [A] to see.
And [G] if you try a little kindness [A] then you [Bm] overlook blindness [G] of the narrow [A]-minded people
of their narrow [D]-minded stream.
[E] [G] Of the narrow [A]-minded people [G] of their [A] narrow-minded [D] stream.
