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.
