Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F]
[C][C][C][F][F#dim7]
[C][E][Am]
[D][G][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]Perhaps it is the color of the sun cut fl[E]at
And [Am]covering the [D]crossroads I'm standing at
Or [C]maybe it's the [G]weather
[Am]or somet[G]hing like that[F]
But [C]mama, you've been [G]on my [C]mind[C]

[Verse 2]
[C]I mean no trouble,
please don't put me down, don't get upset
[E]I am not ple[Am]ading,
[D]or saying I can't forget you
[C]I do not pace the f[G]loor,
[Am]bowed down and [G]bent, but [F]yet
Well, [C]mama you've been [G]on my [C]mind[C]

[Verse 3]
Even [C]though my eyes are hazy
and my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you've [E]been don't bother [Am]me,
[D]or bring me down in sorrow
I [C]don't even mind
[G]who [Am]you'll be [F]waking with tomorrow
But [C]mama, you're just [G]on my [C]mind[C]

[Verse 4]
I [C]am not askin' you to say words like yes or no
[E]Please understa[Am]nd me
[D]I have no place, I'm calling you to go
I'm [C]just whispering to my[G]self,
so [Am]I can prete[F]nd that I don't know
[C]Mama, you're just [G]on my [C]mind

[Interlude 1]
[C][C][E]
[Am][D]
[C][G][Am][F]
[F#dim7]Well, mama you'r[C]e just on my mind[G][C]
[G]

[Verse 5]
When you [C]wake up in the morning,
baby look inside your mirror
[E]You know I won't be next you,
you [Am]know I [D]won't be near
I'd just be [C]curious to [G]know
if [Am]you can s[F]ee yourself as clear
[F#dim7]As someone[C] who has had you[G]
on his [C]mind
[G][C]
