[G] [D]
[Em] [D] [C]
[G] [Am]
[C] [G]
[C] [G]
Perhaps it's the color of [D] the sun-cut [Eb] flag
[Em]
coloring the [A] crossroads where I'm standing at.
[G]
[D] Or maybe it's the [Em] weather [D]
[C] or something [Bm] like that.
[Am]
[C]
Mama, you've [G] been on my mind.
Although I caused you trouble,
you didn't [D] put me [Eb] down or get [Em] upset.
I ain't [A] pleading, but shit, I can't forget.
[G]
[D] You used to [Em] walk the [D] floor, [C] out, [G]
down, and bent.
[Am] But yet,
[C] [G] Mama, you've been on my [C] mind.
[G]
[Am] [G]
Even though my eyes are hazy
and [D] my thoughts, they [Ebm] might be narrow,
[Em]
where I went [A] didn't lead you down,
bring you [G] down with song.
[C]
[G] [D]
[Em] You didn't [D] even [C] know where I'd [G] be waiting up [C] tomorrow.
[G] Mama, you've been on [C] my [G] mind.
You never asked me to say words like [D] yes or no.
[Eb] [Em]
You always understood me.
[A] Never tried to tell me where to [G] go.
[D]
I'm just [Em] whispering to [D] myself
[C] so I can [G] pretend [Am]
I don't know.
[C]
[G] Mama, you've been on my [Am] mind.
[G]
When I wake up in the morning,
Mom, [D] [Ebm] look into the [Em] mirror.
I see you standing next [A] to me.
Although I know you're not here,
[G]
[D] when I [Bm]
see [Em] my reflection,
[D] [C] I can see [G] you just [Am] as clear.
Well, [C]
Mama, [G] you've been on my mind.
[Am] [C] Mama, Mama, [G]
you've been on my mind.
[Am]
[G] Mama, [C]
you're always on my [G]
mind.
[D] [G] [Em]
[Bm] [Gb] [G]
[Am]
[Bb] [C]
