I'd like to dedicate this song to a lady named Mama, who's sitting in front row.
Here's to you, Mama.

[G] [D] [G]
Maybe it's the [D] color [Em] of the sun, good, bad, and [Am] covering
the roads I'm standing [G] at.
Maybe it's [D] the weather, [Em] or something like [C]
[G] that.
But Mama, you're [D] just on [G] my mind.
I don't mean [D] trouble, please don't [Em] put me down.
Don't get upset, I'm [Am] not bleeding.
When I can't forget you, [G] I do not [D] walk the floor.
[Em] Fall down and [C] never [G] yet.
Mama, [D] you're just on [G] my mind.
[Em] [Am]
[G] [D]
[Em] [G] [D]
[G] Even though my [D] mind is hazy, [Em] and my thoughts, they might be [G] narrow.
[A] When you're big, don't bother me.
Or bring me [Am] down in trouble.
[G] It [D] don't even matter, [Em] when you're waking [C] up tomorrow.
[G] Mama, you're just on my mind.

[Em] [Am]
[G] [D]
[Em] [Am] [G]
You wake up [D] in the morning, [Em] baby, look into your mirror.
You [Am] know I won't be next to you.
You know I won't be there.
[G] I just be curious [D] to know.
[Em] You can't see yourself as [C] clear.
[G] There's someone [D] who has [G] had you all his life.
[D]
[Em] [Am]
[G] [D]
[Em] [C] [G] [D]
[G] Maybe [D] it's the color [Em] of the sun, cut [G] black.
[Am] Black covering, brown girls I'm [G] standing at.
Or maybe [D] it's the weather, [Em] or [C] something like [G] that.
But Mama, you're [D] just on [G] my mind.
Mama, you're [D] just on my [G] mind.
