Mama You Been On My Mind Chords

   
Always loved his cover of this and no one else had put it up.  Should be 100%.

G  C  G  C  G  C & riff 1

G                                     G/F#
Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat
    Em           A7             
and coverin' the crossroads I'm standing at
   G                 D       Em                   G
or maybe it's the weather or something like that
    Am            D           G
but mama you been on my mind


I do not mean you trouble, don't put me down, don't get upset
I am not pleadin' or sayin' I can't forget you
I do not pace the floor, bowed down and bent, but yet
mama you been on my mind

G & riff 2

Even tho' my eyes are hazy
and my thoughts they might be narrow
where you been don't bother me, or bring me down with sorrow
I don't even mind where you be wakin' up tomorrow
but mama you been on my mind

I'm not asking you to say words like yes or no
Please understand me, I've no place I'm calling you to go
I'm just whisperin' to myself so I can pretend that I don't know
Mama you been on my mind

G C G C & riff 1

When you wake up in the mornin' baby, look inside your mirror
you know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
as someone who has had you on his mind

   Am              D                    G
As someone who has had you on his mind
Am            D     G
Mama you been on my mind
