C:      x32010
Cmaj7:  x32000
C6:     x322x0 (I use the finger on the G string to mute the B string.
                It makes for a faster change between the Cmaj7 and C6)

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

     C                 Cmaj7
It's knowing that your door is always
C6            Cmaj7           Dm
Open and your path is free to walk
     Dm               Dmmaj7
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping
Dm7               G7                  C
Bag rolled up and stashed behind your couch
         C               Cmaj7          C6               Cmaj7
And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and bonds
        C                   Cmaj7          Dm
And the ink stains that are dried upon some line
     Dm               Dmmaj7
That keeps you in the backroads by the
Dm7          G7           Dm
Rivers of my mem'ry, that keeps you ever
G7           C
Gentle on my mind


[Verse 2]

         C               Cmaj7
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
C6               Cmaj7            Dm
Planted on their columns now that bind me
   Dm                 Dmmaj7
Or something that somebody said
  Dm7                   G7           C
Because they thought we fit together walkin'
          C                Cmaj7             C6            Cmaj7
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or forgiving
       C               Cmaj7             Dm
when I walk along some railroad track and find
            Dm            Dmmaj7
That you're moving on the backroads by the
Dm7          G7              Dm
Rivers of my mem'ry, and for hours you're just
G7           C
Gentle on my mind


[Verse 3]

           C                    Cmaj7
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines and the
C6                Cmaj7           Dm
Junkyards and the highways come between us
         Dm            Dmmaj7        Dm7
And some other woman's crying to her mother
           G7               C
'Cause she turned and I was gone
  C                  Cmaj7             C6                 Cmaj7
I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my face
        C                Cmaj7           Dm
And the summer sun might burn me till I'm blind
    Dm             Dmmaj7
But not to where I cannot see you
Dm7            G7                Dm
Walkin' on the backroads, by the rivers flowing
G7           C
Gentle on my mind


[Verse 4]

  C             Cmaj7
I dip my cup of soup back from a
C6                  Cmaj7           Dm
Gurglin', cracklin' cauldron in some trainyard;
   Dm                Dmmaj7
My beard a roughning coal pile and a
Dm7              G7            C
Dirty hat pulled low across my face
        C                     Cmaj7
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can I
   C6              Cmaj7           Dm
Pretend I hold you to my breast and find
            Dm               Dmmaj7
That you're waiting from the backroads by the
Dm7          G7             Dm
Rivers of my memories, ever smilin', ever
G7           C
Gentle on my mind
