#1.
C Em C
It's knowing that your door is always open
Em Dm
and your path is free to walk.
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
G C Em C Em
rolled up and stashed behind your couch.
C Em C
And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten
Em
words and bonds..
C Em Dm
and the ink stains that have dried up on some line..
that keeps you in the back roads by the rivers
of my memory..
G C Em C Em
that keeps you ever gentle on my mind.
#2.
C Em C
It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy planted on
Em Dm
their columns now, that binds me.
[ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/d/dean-martin/206171.html ]
Or something that somebody said because they thought
G C Em C Em
we fit together, walking.
C Em
It's just knowing that the world will not be
C Em C Em
cursing or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track
Dm
and find...
that you're moving on the back roads by the rivers of my memory..
G C Em C Em
and for hours you're just gentle on my mind.
#3.
C# Fm C#
Well, I dip my cup of soup back from the gurgling crackling
Fm D#m
caldron in some train yard.
My beard a roughening coal pile and a dirty hat pulled low
G# C# Fm C# Fm
across my face.
C# Fm C# Fm
Through cupped hands round a tin can..I pretend I hold you to my
D#m
breast and find...
that you're waving from the back roads, by the river of my memory,
G# C#
ever smiling ever gentle on my mind.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
