Gentle On My Mind:Dean Martin. Single #2 in UK in 1969. Album - Gentle On My Mind - hit #14 in 1968. (Capo 1st fret.) #1. C5 E5 C5 It's knowing that your door is always open E5 D5 and your path is free to walk. That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag G5 C5 E5 C5 E5 rolled up and stashed behind your couch. C5 E5 C5 And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten E5 words and bonds.. C5 E5 D5 and the ink stains that have dried up on some line.. that keeps you in the back roads by the rivers of my memory.. G5 C5 E5 C5 E5 that keeps you ever gentle on my mind. #2. C5 E5 C5 It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy planted on E5 D5 their columns now, that binds me. Or something that somebody said because they thought G5 C5 E5 C5 E5 we fit together, walking. C5 E5 It's just knowing that the world will not be C5 E5 C5 E5 cursing or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track D5 and find... that you're moving on the back roads by the rivers of my memory.. G5 C5 E5 C5 E5 and for hours you're just gentle on my mind. #3. C#5 F5 C#5 Well, I dip my cup of soup back from the gurgling crackling F5 D#5 caldron in some train yard. My beard a roughening coal pile and a dirty hat pulled low G#5 C#5 F5 C#5 F5 across my face. C#5 F5 C#5 F5 Through cupped hands round a tin can..I pretend I hold you to my D#5 breast and find... that you're waving from the back roads, by the river of my memory, G#5 C#5 ever smiling ever gentle on my mind. A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
