[Verse 1]
C E
Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat
Am D7
An' coverin' the crossroads I'm standin' at
C Am G C7
Or maybe it's the weather or somethin' like that
G G6 G7 C G
But mama you've been on my mind
[Verse 2]
C E
I don't mean no trouble please don't put me down or get upset
Am D7
I am not pleadin' or sayin' "I can't forget you."
C E Am D7
I do not pace the floor bowed down an' bent but yet
C7 G G6 G7 C G
Mama you've been on my mind
[Verse 3]
C
Even though my mind is hazy an' my thoughts they might be narrow
E Am D7
Oh where you been don't bother me nor bring me down with sorrow
C G Am
I don' even mind who you'll be wakin' with tomorrow
C7 G G6 G7 C
But mama you're just on my mind
[Verse 4]
G C
I am not askin' you to say words like "yes or no"
E Am D7
Please understand me I have no place I'm callin' you to go
C G Am
I'm just whisperin' to myself so I can't pretend that I don't know
C7 G6 G7 G C G
Mama you are on my mind
[Bridge]
G E Am C7 G
[Verse 5]
C
When you wake up in the mornin' baby look inside your mirror
E Am D7
You know I won't be next to you you know I won't be near
C E Am
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
C7 G G6 G7 C
As someone who has had you on his mind
C E
Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat
Am D7
An' coverin' the crossroads I'm standin' at
C Am G C7
Or maybe it's the weather or somethin' like that
