[D] [D]
It's known that your door is always open and your path is free [Bm] to walk
That [E] makes me tend to leave [Em] my sleeping bag rolled up [A] and stashed [D] behind your couch
And it's known I'm not shackled by forgotten words and thoughts
And the ink stains that I've dried up on [Em] some light
That keeps you in the [B] back roads [Bm] by the rivers of my memory
Keeps you [A] ever gentle on my mind
[B] [F#m]
[D] It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy planted on their columns now [Em] that binds [Bm] me
Or [Em]
something that somebody said [Bm] because they thought [A] we fit [D] together walking
It's just known the world will not be cursing or forgiving
When I walk along some railroad [Em] track and find
[Bm] That [Em] you're moving on the back roads [Bm] by the rivers of [Em] my memory
[Bm] And for hours you're [A] just gentle on [D] my mind
Though the wheat fields and the clothesline and the junkyards and the highways [Em] come to crease
And some other woman [B] crying [Bm] to her mother cause [A] she turned and I [D] was gone
I
[A] [D] 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 to where I cannot [Bm] see you walking on the back roads by the rivers [A] flowing gentle on my mind
[D]
I dip my cup of seat back from the gurgling, crackling, cauldron in [Bm] some green yard
[Em] My beauter up [B] in cold cow, [Em] a dirty hat [A] pulled low across [D] my face
[B]
[D] Blue cup, tans round the tin can, I pretend to hold you to my [Em] breast and find
That you're waving from the back [Bm] roads by the rivers of my memory
And the smiling [A] ever gentle on my mind
[D] [A] [D]
It's known that your door is always open and your path is free [Bm] to walk
That [E] makes me tend to leave [Em] my sleeping bag rolled up [A] and stashed [D] behind your couch
And it's known I'm not shackled by forgotten words and thoughts
And the ink stains that I've dried up on [Em] some light
That keeps you in the [B] back roads [Bm] by the rivers of my memory
Keeps you [A] ever gentle on my mind
[B] [F#m]
[D] It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy planted on their columns now [Em] that binds [Bm] me
Or [Em]
something that somebody said [Bm] because they thought [A] we fit [D] together walking
It's just known the world will not be cursing or forgiving
When I walk along some railroad [Em] track and find
[Bm] That [Em] you're moving on the back roads [Bm] by the rivers of [Em] my memory
[Bm] And for hours you're [A] just gentle on [D] my mind
Though the wheat fields and the clothesline and the junkyards and the highways [Em] come to crease
And some other woman [B] crying [Bm] to her mother cause [A] she turned and I [D] was gone
I
[A] [D] 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 to where I cannot [Bm] see you walking on the back roads by the rivers [A] flowing gentle on my mind
