Well, perhaps it´s the colour of the sun cut flat
   C#            F#
An´cov´ring, the crossroads I´m standing at
   E     Emaj7    C#      C#7 A              E
Or maybe it´s the weather or  something like that
    B7                      E         B7            B7
But mama, you´ve been on my mind.

Well, I don´t mean trouble, please don´t bring me down don´t get upset,

I am not pleadin´ or sayin´, "I can´t forget you"
  E      Emaj7    C#    C#7   A                  E
I do not walk the floor bowed down on knees, but yet,
B7                      E             B7             B7
Mama, you´ve been on my mind.


     E                                                    G#
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,
      E        Emaj7 C#     C#7       A           E   
Well, it don´t even  matter if you´re wakin´ up tomorrow
    B7                      E           B7            B7
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
         E         Emaj7 C#      C#7     A                E
I´m just breathin´ to myself, pretending not that I don´t know,
    B7                      E           B7             B7
But mama, you´ve been on my mind.

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,
         E   Emaj7  C#      C#7     A                 E
I´m just curious to know if you can see yourself this clear
   B7                             E
As someone who has had you on his mind.
