Perhaps it is the color of the sun cut flat
Am D7/F#
And coverin' the crossroads I'm standing at
C E Am Fmaj7
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
C G C/G
oh but mama you've been on my mind
C E7
I don't mean trouble please don't put me down don't get upset
Am D7/F#
I am not pleading or saying that I can't forget you
C E Am Fmaj7
I do not pace the floor bowed down and bent but yet
C G C/G
Oh mama you've been on my mind
C
Even though my eyes are hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow
E7 Am D7/F#
Where you've been don't bother me or bring me down with sorrow
C E Am Fmaj7
I don't even mind who you'll be waking with tomorrow
C G C/G
But mama you've been on my mind
C
I am not askin' you to say words like yes or no
E7 Am D7/F#
Please understand me I have no place I'm callin' you to go
C E Am Fmaj7
I'm just whispering to myself so I can pretend that I don't know
C G C/G
Oh mama you've been on my mind
C E7
Am D7/F#
C E Am Fmaj7
C G C/G
C
When you wake up in the mornin' baby look inside your mirror
E7 Am D7/F#
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
Fmaj7 C G C/G
As someone who has had you on his mind
