Mama, You’ve Been On My Mind
       G
Intro: 
Verse 1
    C                                       C/B
Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat 
       Am                  D
An' cov'rin' the crossroads I'm standing at, 
      C        C/B      Am            F                    C
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that, 
       C             G        C G
But mama, you been on my mind. 
   C           C/B
I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down or get upset, 
  Am  D
I am not pleadin' or sayin', "I can't forget you." 
  C         C/B        Am               F         C
I do not walk the floor bowed down an' bent, but yet, 
C      G        C
Mama, you been on my mind. 
Verse 2 (same as verse one)
Even though my mind is hazy an' my thoughts they might be narrow, 
Where you been don't bother me nor bring me down in sorrow. 
It don't even matter to me where you're wakin' up tomorrow, 
But mama, you're just on my mind. 
Interlude: same as verse
Verse 3 (same as verse 1,2)
I am not askin' you to say words like "yes" or "no," 
Please understand me, I got no place for you t' go. 
I'm just breathin' to myself, pretendin' not that I don't know, 
Mama, you been on my mind. 
Verse 4
When you wake up in the mornin', baby, look inside your mirror. 
You know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near. 
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear 
As someone who has had you on his mind.
