[Verse 1]
C                                 
Perhaps it's the color of the sun 
    E7
cut flat
    Am            D7/F#
An' cov'rin' the crossroads I'm 
standing at
   C                  C/B 
Or maybe it's the weather or 
Am  C/G        Fmaj7
something like that
    C/G            G6     C
But mama you been on my mind.


[Verse 2]
C                                 
I don't mean trouble please don't 
                     E7
put me down or get upset
                 Am   D7/F#
I am not pleadin' or sayin' "I can't
 forget."
  C                C/B      Am   
I do not walk the floor bowed 
       C/G         Fmaj7
down an' bent but yet

 C/G           G6    C
Mama you been on my mind.


[Verse 3]
      C
Even though my mind is hazy an' my 
thoughts they might be narrow
            E7/B             Am   
Where you been don't bother me nor
  D7/F#
 bring me down in sorrow.
    C     C/B   Am               
It don't even matter to me where 
C/B      Fmaj7
you're wakin' up tomorrow
F#dim7 C          G6         C
But mama you're just on my mind.


[Verse 4]
         C                      
I am not askin' you to say words 
                 E7/B
like "yes" or "no"
            Am          D7/F#
Please understand me I got no place 
for you t' go.
          C            C/B 
I'm just breathin' to myself 
Am                  Fmaj7
pretendin' not that I don't know
C/G          G6       C
Mama you been on my mind.

When you wake up in the mornin' baby
 look inside your mirror.
     E7                            
You know I won't be next to you you
   Am    Am/G     D7/F#
 know I won't be near.
          C                        
I'd just be curious to know if you 
     Fmaj7
can see yourself as clear

As someone who has had you on
