	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 forg	otten words and bonds

	G	Am
and the	ink stains that have dried if on some	line,

	Am7
that keeps you in the b	ackroads

by the rivers of my mem'ry

	Am	D7	G
that k	eeps you ever g	entle 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.

GENTLE ON MY MIND

(anybody know who wrote it?)

	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

	G	Am
and the	ink stains that have dried if on some	line,

	Am7

by the rivers of my mem'ry

	Am	D7	G
that k	eeps you ever g	entle on my	mind.

I think the song was written by John Hartford in the 1960's. I remember him performing it in concert...before he dedicated his career to the mountain tunes.

The original post only contained the first two verses of the song. I have added the last two verses.

The late and very talented John Hartford was indeed the writer of this song, he performed it many times with Glen Campbell whoof course made it famous.
