GENTLE ON MY MIND
JOHNNY CASH
ALBUM:UNEARTHED
C Cmaj7 C6 Cmaj7
Its knowin that your door is always open and your path
Dm
is free to walk
Dm7
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin bag rolled up and
G7 C
stashed behind your couch
C Cmaj7 C6 Cmaj7
And its knowin Im not shackled by forgotten words and bonds
C Cmaj7 Dm
And the ink stains that have dried up on some line
Dm7 Dm6 Dm7
That keeps you in the backroads by the rivers of my memory
Dm Dmaj7 Dm7 G7 C
That keeps you ever Gentle On My Mind
C Cmaj7 C6
Its not clingin to the rocks and ivy planted on their
Cmaj7 Dm
column now that binds me
Dm7 G7
Or somethin that somebody said because they thought wed fit
C
together walkin
C Cmaj7 C6
Its just knowin that the world will not be cursin or
Cmaj7
forgivin
C Cmaj7 Dm
When I walk along some railroad track and find
Dm7 Dm6
That youre movin on the backroads by the rivers of my
Dm7
memory
Dm Dmaj7 Dm7 G7 C
And for hours youre just Gentle On My Mind
3.Though the wheatfields and the clotheslines and junkyards and highways come between us
And some other woman cryin to er mother cuase she truned and I was gone
I still run in silence tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun mite burn me til Im blind
But not to where I cannot see you walkin ont the backroads
By the rivers flowin Gentle On My Mind
4.I dip my cup of soup back from the gurglin cracklin
cauldron in some trainyard
My beard a roughnin coalpile and a dirty hat I pulled
across my face
Thro cuppd hands round a tin can I pretend to hold you to
my breast and find
That youre wavin from the backroads by the rivers of my
memory ever smilin
Ever Gentle On My Mind
