Verse 1
(C major) it is the color of the sun cut (E7) flat
And (A minor) covering the crossroads (D/F#) I'm standing at
Or (C major) maybe it's the (G/B) weather
(A minor) or something (G major) like that (F major)
But (C/G) mama, you've been on (G7) my mind (C major) (C major)

Verse 2
I (C major) mean no trouble,
please don't put me down, don't get upset
(E7) I am not pleading, (A minor)
or (D/F#) saying I can't forget you
I (C major) do not pace the floor, (G/B)
bowed (A minor) down and (G major) bent, but yet (F minoraj7)
Well, (C/G) mama you've been on (G7) my mind (C major) (C major)
Verse 3
Even though (C major) my eyes are hazy
and my thoughts they might be narrow
Where you've been (E7) don't bother me, (A minor)
or (D/F#) bring me down in sorrow
I (C major) don't even mind
(G/B) who you'll (A minor) be waking (F major) with tomorrow
(F sharpdim7) But (C/G) mama, you're just on (G7) my mind (C major) (C major)
Verse 4
I am (C major) not askin' you to say words like yes or no
(E7) Please understand (A minor) me
I (D/F#) have no place, I'm calling you to go
I'm just (C major) whispering to my (G/B) self,
so I (A minor) can pretend (F major) that I don't know
(C/G) Mama, you're just on (G7) my mind (C major)
Interlude 1
(C major) (C major) (E7)
(A minor) (D/F#)
(C major) (G/B) (A minor) (F major)
(F sharpdim7) Well, (C/G) mama you're just on (G7) my mind (C major)
(G major) (G7)
Verse 5
When you wake (C major) up in the morning,
baby look inside your mirror
(E7) You know I won't be next you,
you know (A minor) I (A minor/G) won't (D/F#) be near
I'd just be (C major) curious to know (G/B)
if (A minor) you can (F major) see yourself as clear
(F sharpdim7) As (C/G) someone who has (G7) had you
on his (C major) mind
(G major) (C major)
