Well, perhaps it´s the colour of the sun cut flat
C#F#
An´cov´ring, the crossroads I´m standing at
EEmaj7C#C#7AE
Or maybe it´s the weather or something like that

But mama, you´ve been on my mind.
EG#
Well, I don´t mean trouble, please don´t bring me down don´t get upset,
C#F#
I am not pleadin´ or sayin´, "I can´t forget you"
EEmaj7C#C#7AE
I do not walk the floor bowed down on knees, but yet,
B7EB7B7
Mama, you´ve been on my mind.
EG#
Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow,
C#F#
Where you been don´t bother me, or bring me down in sorrow,
EEmaj7C#C#7AE
Well, it don´t even matter if you´re wakin´ up tomorrow
B7EB7B7
But mama, you´ve been on my mind.
E
I don´t need you to say words like "yes" or "no",
G#C#F#
Please understand me, I´m not calling for you to go
EEmaj7C#C#7AE
I´m just breathin´ to myself, pretending not that I don´t know,
B7EB7B7
But mama, you´ve been on my mind.
E
When you wake up in the morning, baby, look inside your mirror
G#C#F#
You know I won´t be next to you, you know I won´t be near,
EEmaj7C#C#7AE

B7E
As someone who has had you on his mind.
