It's [/] [C] knowin’ that your [/] [Cmaj7] door is always [/] [C6] open
And your [/] [Cmaj7] path is free to [/] [Dm] walk [/] [Faug] [/] [F] [/] [Faug]
That [/] [Dm] makes me tend to [/] [Faug] leave my sleepin’ [/] [F] bag rolled up
And [/] [G7] stashed behind your [/] [C] couch [/] [Cmaj7] [/] [C6] [/] [Cmaj7]
And it's [/] [C] knowin’ I'm not [/] [Cmaj7] shackled by for-[/] [C6] gotten words and [/] [Cmaj7] bonds
And the [/] [C] ink stains that have [/] [Cmaj7] dried upon some [/] [Dm] line [/] [Faug] [/] [F] [/] [Faug]
That [/] [Dm] keeps you in the [/] [Faug] backroads by the [/] [F] rivers of my [/] [G7] mem'ry
And [/] [Dm] keeps you ever [/] [G7] gentle on my [/] [C] mind [/] [Cmaj7] [/] [C6] [/] [Cmaj7]


It's not [/] [C] clingin’ to the [/] [Cmaj7] rocks and ivy
[/] [C6] Planted on their [/] [Cmaj7] columns now that [/] [Dm] binds me [/] [Faug] [/] [F] [/] [Faug]
Or [/] [Dm] something that some-[/] [Faug] body said
Be- [/] [F] cause they thought we’d [/] [G7] fit together [/] [C] walkin' [/] [Cmaj7] [/] [C6] [/] [Cmaj7]
It's just [/] [C] knowin’ that the [/] [Cmaj7] world will not be [/] [C6] cursin’ or for-[/] [Cmaj7] givin’
When I [/] [C] walk along some [/] [Cmaj7] railroad track and [/] [Dm] find [/] [Faug] [/] [F] [/] [Faug]
That you're [/] [Dm] movin’ on the [/] [Faug] backroads by the [/] [F] rivers of my [/] [G7] mem'ry
And for [/] [Dm] hours you're just [/] [G7] gentle on my [/] [C] mind [/] [Cmaj7] [/] [C6] [/] [Cmaj7]


Though the [/] [C] wheat fields and the [/] [Cmaj7] clotheslines and the [/] [C6] junkyards
And the [/] [Cmaj7] highways come be- [/] [Dm] tween us [/] [Faug] [/] [F] [/] [Faug]
And some [/] [Dm] other woman’s [/] [Faug] cryin’ to her [/] [F] mother
‘Cause she [/] [G7] turned and I was [/] [C] gone [/] [Cmaj7] [/] [C6] [/] [Cmaj7]
I [/] [C] still might run in [/] [Cmaj7] silence, tears of [/] [C6] joy might stain my [/] [Cmaj7] face
And the [/] [C] summer sun might [/] [Cmaj7] burn me 'til I'm [/] [Dm] blind [/] [Faug] [/] [F] [/] [Faug]
But [/] [Dm] not to where I [/] [Faug] cannot see you [/] [F] walkin' on the [/] [G7] backroads
By the [/] [Dm] rivers flowin’ [/] [G7] gentle on my [/] [C] mind [/] [Cmaj7] [/] [C6] [/] [Cmaj7]


I [/] [C] dip my cup of [/] [Cmaj7] soup back from a [/] [C6] gurglin', cracklin' [/] [Cmaj7] cauldron
In some [/] [Dm] trainyard [/] [Faug] [/] [F] [/] [Faug]
My [/] [Dm] beard a roughnin’ [/] [Faug] coal pile
And a [/] [F] dirty hat pulled [/] [G7] low across my [/] [C] face [/] [Cmaj7] [/] [C6] [/] [Cmaj7]
Through [/] [C] cupped hands, 'round the [/] [Cmaj7] tin can, I pre- [/] [C6] tend
To hold you [/] [Cmaj7] to my breast and [/] [Dm] find [/] [Faug] [/] [F] [/] [Faug]
That you're [/] [Dm] wavin’ from the [/] [Faug] backroads by the [/] [F] rivers of my [/] [G7] mem’ry
Ever [/] [Dm] smilin' ever [/] [G7] gentle on my [/] [C] mind [/] [Cmaj7] [/] [C6] [/] [Cmaj7] [/] [C!]
