[Verse 1]
C E7
Perhaps it is the color of the sun cut flat
Am D7/F# D7 D7/F#
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at
C/G C C/B Am7 G F
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
C/G G C
But mama, you been on my mind
[Verse 2]
C E7
I mean no trouble, please, don't put me down, don't get upset
Am D7/F# D7 D7/F#
I am not pleading or saying, "I can't forget you"
C/G C C/B Am7 G F
I do not pace the floor bowed down and bent, but yet
C/G G C
Well, mama, you been on my mind
[Verse 3]
C
Even though my eyes are hazy
And my thoughts they might be narrow
E7 Am
Where you been don't bother me
D7/F# D7 D7/F#
Or bring me down in sorrow
C/G C C/B Am7 F F#dim7
I don't even mind who you'll be waking with tomorrow
C/G G C
But mama, you're just on my mind
[Verse 4]
C E7
I am not askin' you to say words like "yes" or "no"
Am
Please, understand me
D7/F# D7 D7/F#
I have no place I'm callin' you to go
C/G C C/B Am7 F
I'm just whispering to myself so I can pretend that I don't know
C/G G C
Mama, you just on my mind
E7 Am D7/F# D7 D7/F#
C/G C C/B Am7 F F#dim7
C/G G C
Well, mama, you just on my mind
G Gmaj7
[Verse 5]
C
When you wake up in the mornin'
E7
Baby, look inside your mirror
You know I won't be next to you
Am Am/G D7/F#
You know I won't be near
C/G
I'd just be curious to know
F F#dim7
If you can see yourself as clear
C/G G C
As someone who has had you on his mind
