Intro: E

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
But mama, you´ve been on my mind.
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"
E Emaj7 c# c#7 A E
I do not walk the floor bowed down on knees, but yet,
Mama, you´ve been on my mind.
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
But mama, you´ve been on my mind.
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,
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
As someone who has had you on his mind.
They performed it on MTV as a "bonus performance" (TRL).
