Gentle On My Mind

	  		This is a song Steve does quite often at the end of his shows.  
The chords were nicked off of onefinebob, so you can thank him for that.  
Only thing I did was tab the chords throughout the whole song,  
and give the chords their proper names. 

Chords defined at the end. 

Intro:  C  Cmaj7  Am/C   Cmaj7 

     C                 Cmaj7 
It's knowing that your door is always 
Am/C            Cmaj7           Dm   Dmmaj7 Dm7 Dmmaj7 
open and your path is free to walk 
     Dm               Dmmaj7 
that makes me tend to leave my sleeping 
Dm7               G7                  C     Cmaj7  Cadd2  C 
bag rolled up and stashed behind your couch 
         C               Cmaj7           Am/C 
And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and 
Cmaj7         C                    Cmaj7           Dm  Dmmaj7 Dm7 Dmmaj7 
bonds and the ink stains that have 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    Cmaj7  Cadd2  C 
gentle on my mind 

     C                   Cmaj7 
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy 
Am/C               Cmaj7            Dm   Dmmaj7 Dm7 Dmmaj7 
Planted on their columns now that bind me 
   Dm             Dmmaj7 
Or something that somebody said 
Dm7                   G7           C       Cmaj7  Cadd2  C 
Because they think we fit together walkin'. 
          C                Cmaj7             Am/C 
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or 
Cmaj7             C               Cmaj7              Dm  Dmmaj7 Dm7 Dmmaj7 
Forgiving, 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    Cmaj7  Cadd2  C 
Gentle on my mind 

           C                    Cmaj7 
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines and the 
Am/C                Cmaj7           Dm    Dmmaj7 Dm7 Dmmaj7 
Junkyards and the highways come between us, 
         Dm          Dmmaj7 
And some other woman crying to her 
Dm7                G7               C     Cmaj7  Cadd2  C 
Mother, 'cause she turned and I was gone. 
              C               Cmaj7        Am/C 
I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my 
Cmaj7         C                Cmaj7             Dm  Dmmaj7 Dm7 Dmmaj7 
Face, 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    Cmaj7  Cadd2  C 
Gentle on my mind 

      C              Cmaj7 
I dip my cup of soup back from the 
Am/C                  Cmaj7            Dm   Dmmaj7 Dm7 Dmmaj7 
Gurglin', cracklin' cauldron in some train yard; 
   Dm                Dmmaj7 
My beard a roughning coal pile and a 
Dm7              G7            C     Cmaj7  Cadd2  C 
Dirty hat pulled low across my face. 
        C            Cmaj7    Am/C 
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can I 
Cmaj7     C              Cmaj7      Dm  Dmmaj7 Dm7 Dmmaj7 
Pretend I hold you to my breast and find 
     Dm                     Dmmaj7 
That you're waving from the backroads by the 
Dm7          G7           Dm 
Rivers of my memory, ever smilin' ever 
G7           C    Cmaj7  Cadd2  C 
Gentle on my mind.
