Chords for How to play Gentle on My Mind on banjo - John Hartford

[Em] So, Gentle on My Mind, a beautiful song.
John Hartford is doing a really relatively simple role, _
easier said [F#] than done,
_ [E] because he's trying to play and sing at the same time,
which can be [F#] complicated.
So he's not doing anything too [E] robust with his left hand.
[C] He's doing two patterns that [D#] I can see,
and [G] probably someone will correct me,
but it's like, _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] and you can do something even fancier here.
[G] So _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ [G] what I'm doing is, _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [E] and then he's doing an A minor.
[Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
He's doing a run down here,
_ _ _ [C] _ _
_ second fret [D#] on the G string.
[Am] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ So it's just going to here,
and I'm barring, so I'm barring both the B string and the G string.
So, [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ and then I'm doing a 4 _ [E]-5-5,
which _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] doesn't sound exactly right, but it works okay in [G] that role. _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
Now he's also doing a role here. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
[G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [C] _
_ [E] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ So that role is thumb, thumb, it's a lot of thumb,
_ _ _ and he's double thumbing there. _
That's not a [G#] double thumb because you're doing quarter [G] notes. _ _
_ [Bm] _ [G] It's your double thumb he's doing.
_ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
So, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ thumb, thumb, thumb, index, middle, thumb, [F#]
thumb, thumb.
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [C] _ _
[Em] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
Now of course being John, and his singing voice does not suit a G,
he actually [E] tunes down.
_ _ He tunes his banjo down, to about knee flat, I think.
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
[B] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hope you enjoyed that, and hope it helps.
