Robert Ellis — Gentle On My Mind

Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

Please be aware the Robert uses different tuning.
Het uses a D-tuning, probably DGCFAbD or a variant.
So I've decided to write this song 2 frets up.
Playing along Robert's recording needs either CAPO 10
 or tune your guitar 2 frets lower (DGCFAbD tuning).
For piano/organ, please set TRANSPOSE -2.

[Verse 1]
     E                 Abm            Dbm
It's knowin' that your door is always open
         E               Gbm
And your path is free to walk
     Gbm              F                 A
That makes me tend to leave my sleepin' bag
              B                   E
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
          E              Abm
And it's knowin' I'm not shackled
      Dbm              E
By forgotten words and bonds
        Dbm                  E               Gbm
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
     Gbm               F
That keeps you walking by the rails
       Abm          Gbm
By the rivers of my memory
     A              B            E
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind


[Verse 2]
         E               Abm
It's not clingin' to the rocks and ivy
Dbm              B                  Gbm
Planted on their columns now that defines me
   Gbm                F           A
Or somethin' that somebody said because
                B            E
They thought we fit together walkin'
          E                Abm
It's just knowin' that the world
            Dbm           E
Will not be cursin' or forgivin'
       Dbm             E                  Gbm
When I walk along some railroad track and find
            Gbm                F
That you're movin' through the back roads
       Abm          Gbm
By the rivers of my memory
        A                 B            E
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

[Verse 3]
           E                    Abm
Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
        Dbm               B                Gbm
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
         Gbm           F             A
And some other woman's cryin' to her mother
           B                E
'Cause she turned and I was gone
  E                  Abm
I still might run in silence
         Dbm                E
Tears of joy might stain in my face
        Dbm              E                Gbm
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind
    Gbm            Eb
But not to where I cannot see
     A                   Gbm
Your moon walkin' on the back roads
       A              B            E      Gbm  E
By the rivers flowin' gentle on my mind


[Verse 4]
  E             Abm              Dbm                B
I dip my cup of soup back from a gurglin' cracklin' cauldron
        Gbm
In some train yard
   Gbm              Fm
My beard a rustlin' coal pile
      E                B             E
And a dirty hat pulled low across my face
        E                     Abm
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can
  Dbm                 E                Gbm
I pretend to hold you to my breast and find
            Gbm              Eb
That you're waitin' from the back roads
       A            Gbm
By the rivers of my memory
     A             B            E
Ever smilin', ever gentle on my mind
