[Verse 1]
G7       C                               E7
  Perhaps it is the color of the sun cut flat
    Am                D7/F#
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at
   C/G               C/B Am7       G              F
Or maybe it's the weather   or something like that
    C/G                 G       C
But mama, you've been on my mind

[Verse 2]
  C
I mean no trouble, please don't put me down,
don't get upset
E7
I am not pleading,
Am  D7/F#
  or     saying I can't forget you
  C/G                   C/B      Am7      G
I do not pace the floor,   bowed down and bent,
but yet
F      C/G                G       C
 Well, mama you've been on my mind

[Verse 3]
           C
Even though my eyes are hazy and my thoughts they might be
narrow
                 E7
Where you've been  don't bother me,
Am  D7/F#
  or     bring me down in sorrow
  C/G            C/B          Am7     F
I don't even mind   who you'll   be waking with tomorrow
F#dim7 C/G                 G       C
But    mama, you're just on my mind

[Verse 4]
    C                                          E7
I am not askin' you to say words like yes or no
                 Am     D7/F#
Please understand  me, I     have no place,
I'm calling you to go
    C/G                  C/B     Am7       F
I'm just whispering to myself so I  can pretend that I
don't know
C/G               G         C
Mama, you're just on my mind

[Break]
C E7 Am D7/F#
C/G C/B Am7
F F#dim7
      C/G                G       C G
Well, mama you're just on my mind

[Verse 5]
G7         C
  When you wake up in the morning,
baby look inside your mirror
    E7
You know I won't be next to you,
        Am       D7/F#
you know  I won't     be near
            C/G                Am7     F
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as
clear
F#dim7 C/G             G              C/G G C
As     someone who has had you on his mind
