Gentle On My Mind (Ralph Emory Show Version)
With special solo
Glen Campbell
Intro D
Verse 1
D Dmaj7 D6
It's knowing that your door is always open
Dmaj7 Em Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7)
And your path is free to walk
Em Em(maj7) Em7
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
A D Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
D Dmaj7
And it's knowing I'm not shackled
D6 Dmaj7
By forgotten words and bonds
D Dmaj7 Em Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7)
And the ink stains that are dried upon some line
Chorus 1
Em Em(maj7)
That keeps you in the backroads
Em7 A
By the rivers of my memory
Em A D Dmaj7 D6
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind
Verse 2
Dmaj7 D Dmaj7
And It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
D6 Dmaj7 Em Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7)
Planted on their columns now that binds me
Em Em(maj7)
Or something that somebody said
Em7 A D Dmaj7 D6
Because they thought we fit together walking
Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 D6
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing
Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 Em Em(maj7) Em7
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find
Chorus 2
Em(maj7) Em Em(maj7)
That you're moving on the backroads
Em7 Em(maj7)
By the rivers of my memory
Em A D Dmaj7 D6
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind
(I'll play one)

Verse 3
D Dmaj7 D6
Or may I dip my cup of soup back from the gurglin'
Dmaj7 Em Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7)
Cracklin' caldron in some train yard
Em Em(maj7)
With my beard a roughing coal pile, and
Em7 A D Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7
A dirty hat pulled low across my face
D Dmaj7
Through cupped hands 'round the tin can
D6 Dmaj7 Em Em(maj7) Em7 Em(maj7)
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
Outro
Em Em(maj7)
That you're waveing from the backroads
Em7 A
By the rivers of my memory
Em A D Dmaj7 D6 Dmaj7 D Dmaj7 A D
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind And everbody here You're gentle on my mind
