GENTLE ON MY MIND
John Hartford, 1967


G G7
It`s knowing that your door is always open
G Am
and your path is free to walk,
Am7
that makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
D7 G
rolled up and stashed behind your couch.
G
And it`s knowing I`m not shackled
G7
by forgotten words and bonds
G Am
and the ink stains that have dried if on some line,
Am7
that keeps you in the backroads

by the rivers of my mem`ry
Am D7 G
that keeps you ever gentle on my mind.



It`s not clinging to the rocks and ivy
planted on the columns now that binds me,
or something that somebody said
because they thought we fit together walking.
It`s just knowing that the world will not be cursing
or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track
and find that you are moving on the backroads
by the rivers of my mem`ry
and for hours you`re just gentle on my mind.
