C Am F G C
[Verse 1]
C
When you wake up in the morning baby look inside your mirror
Am Dm G
I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near
C Am
I'd be curious to know if your reflection is as clear
Dm G C
As the one that I've got on my mind
F G C
Mama, you been on my mind
[Instrumental]
Am F G
[Verse 2]
C Am
Well perhaps it's the wind and the dark dark night that's covering
Dm G
The crossroads that I'm at
C Am
And maybe it's the weather or something like that
Dm G C
But mama, you been on my mind
F G C
Mama, you been on my mind
[Instrumental]
Am F G
[Verse 3]
C
Well I don't need trouble, please don't put me down
Am Dm G
Don't get upset, I am not pleading, I won't say I'll forget
C Am
And I won't pace a floor bowed down and bent but yet
Dm G C
Mama, you been on my mind
F G C
Mama, you been on my mind
[Instrumental]
Am F G
[Verse 4]
C
Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts are kinda narrow
Am Dm G
Where you been don't bother me or bring me down with sorrow
C Am
It don't matter to me where you'll be waking up tomorrow
Dm G C
But mama you been on my mind
F G C
Mama you been on my mind
