Gentle On My Mind Chords

Glen Campbell - Gentle On My Mind (Ralph Emery Show Version)
With special solo
 
 
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 waving 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 everybody here  You're gentle on my  mind
