Gentle On My Mind
Seasick Steve
This is a song Steve does quite often at the end of his shows. 
The chords were nicked off of onefinebob, so you can thank him for that. 
Only thing I did was tab the chords throughout the whole song, 
and give the chords their proper names.

Chords defined at the end.

It's knowing that your door is always
                          Dmmaj7  Dmmaj7
open and your path is free to walk
                    Dmmaj7
that makes me tend to leave my sleeping
                                        Cadd2  
bag rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowing I'm not shackled by forgotten words and
                                          Dmmaj7  Dmmaj7
bonds and the ink stains that have dried upon some line
                    Dmmaj7
That keeps you in the backroads by the
rivers of my mem'ry, that keeps you ever
                 Cadd2  
gentle on my mind

It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
                              Dmmaj7  Dmmaj7
Planted on their columns now that bind me
                Dmmaj7
Or something that somebody said
                                       Cadd2  
Because they think we fit together walkin'.
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing or
                                            Dmmaj7  Dmmaj7
Forgiving, when I walk along some railroad track and find
                        Dmmaj7
That you're moving on the backroads by the
Rivers of my mem'ry, and for hours you're just
                 Cadd2  
Gentle on my mind

Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines and the
                               Dmmaj7  Dmmaj7
Junkyards and the highways come between us,
                   Dmmaj7
And some other woman crying to her
                                      Cadd2  
Mother, 'cause she turned and I was gone.
I still might run in silence, tears of joy might stain my
                                        Dmmaj7  Dmmaj7
Face, and the summer sun might burn me 'till I'm blind,
                 Dmmaj7
But not to where I cannot see you
Walkin' on the backroads, by the rivers flowing
                 Cadd2  
Gentle on my mind

I dip my cup of soup back from the
                                 Dmmaj7  Dmmaj7
Gurglin', cracklin' cauldron in some train yard;
                   Dmmaj7
My beard a roughning coal pile and a
                                 Cadd2  
Dirty hat pulled low across my face.
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can I
                           Dmmaj7  Dmmaj7
Pretend I hold you to my breast and find
                          Dmmaj7
That you're waving from the backroads by the
Rivers of my memory, ever smilin' ever
                 Cadd2  
Gentle on my mind.
