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
