Mama, You Been On My Mind (Studio Outtake - 1964) Chords

[B] _ _ _ _ _ [E] Perhaps it's the color of the sun [G#] kept flat [C#m] and covering _
[A#] The [F#] crossroads I'm standing at _
[E] Or maybe it's [B] the weather or something [E] like that
[Bm] But mama you've been [A] on [E] my mind _
_ [B] _ _ _ [E] I don't mean trouble, please [G#] don't put me down
Or get upset, [C#m] I am not pleading
Or [F#] saying I can't forget you
[E] I do not pace [G#] the floor, [C#m] bow down and bend
[A] But yet, [E]
mama you've been [Bm] on [B] my [E] mind _ _ _
_ _ Even though my eyes are hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow
[G#] Where you been, don't [C#m] bother me _
[F#] Or bring me down with sorrow _
[E] I don't [B] even mind [C#] who you'll [B] be waking [A] with tomorrow
[E] Mama [B] you're just on my [E] mind
_ _ _ _ _ I'm not asking you to say words like yes or no, [G#] please [C#m] understand me
[F#] I have no place I'm calling you to go
_ I'm [E] just whispering to [B] myself so I [C#] can't [Bm] pretend that [A] I don't know
[E] Mama you're on my mind
[B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _

_ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [G#m] _ _
_ [B] _ [E] When you wake up in the morning, baby look inside your mirror
You [G#] know I won't be next [C#m] to you, you know I won't be [F#] near
[E] I'd just be curious [G#] to know [C#m] if you can see [A] yourself as clear
[E] As someone [B] who has had you on [E] his mind
