Gentle On My Mind:Elvis Presley.
Album - From Elvis In Memphis - #13 on
BB Hot 200 on RCA Records in 1969.
INTRO: E  
#1.
EIt's knowin' that your door is always open
and your path is free to Gbmwalk.
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag
rolled up and Bstashed behind your Ecouch.
EAnd it's knowin' I'm not Bshackled by forEgotten 
words and bonds and the ink stains that have 
dried upon some Gbmline.
That keeps you in the back roads by the rivers 
of my Bmemory..that Gbmkeeps you ever Bgentle on my 
Emind.
#2.
EIt's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy planted on 
their columns now that Gbmbind me.
Or something that somebody said Abecause they thought 
we Bfit together, Ewalkin'.
EIt's just knowing that the Bworld will not be Ecursing 
or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track 
and Gbmfind..that you're movin' on the back roads by the 
Arivers of my Bmemory and for Gbmhours you're just Bgentle 
on my Emind.
#3.
EThough the wheat fields and the clothes lines and the 
junkyards and the highways come Gbmbetween us.
GbmAnd some other woman's cryin' to her mother cause she 
Bturned and I was Egone.
I still might run in Bsilence, tears of joy might stain 
my face and the Esummer sun might Bburn me till I'm Gbmblind.
But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the Bback 
roads by the Gbmrivers flowin' Bgentle on my Emind.
#4.
I dip my cup of soup Bback from a Dbmgurglin' cracklin' 
cauldron in some Gbmtrain yard.
My beard a rustlin' Acoal pile and a Bdirty hat pulled low 
across my Eface.
EThrough cupped hands 'round a tin can, I pretend to hold 
you to my breast and Gbmfind..that you're waitin' from the 
back roads Aby the rivers Gbmof my Bmemory, ever Gbmsmilin', ever 
Bgentle on my Emind.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.

and your path is free to walk.

That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag

B E

rolled up and stashed behind your couch.

E B E

And it's knowin' I'm not shackled by forgotten

words and bonds and the ink stains that have

Gbm

dried upon some line.

That keeps you in the back roads by the rivers

B Gbm B

of my memory..that keeps you ever gentle on my

mind.

#2.

It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy planted on

their columns now that bind me.

Or something that somebody said because they thought

B E

we fit together, walkin'.

It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing

And some other woman's cryin' to her mother cause she

you to my breast and find..that you're waitin' from the

back roads by the rivers of my memory, ever smilin', ever
