Mama, You Been on My Mind Chords & Lyrics by Rod Stewart
Mama, You Been on My Mind
guitar chords lyrics
Always loved his cover of this and no one else had put it up. Should be 100%.
G C G C G C & riff 1
G G/F#
Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat
Em A7
and coverin' the crossroads I'm standing at
G D Em G
or maybe it's the weather or something like that
Am D G
but mama you been on my mind
I do not mean you trouble, don't put me down, don't get upset
I am not pleadin' or sayin' I can't forget you
I do not pace the floor, bowed down and bent, but yet
mama you been on my mind
G & riff 2
Even tho' my eyes are hazy
and my thoughts they might be narrow
where you been don't bother me, or bring me down with sorrow
I don't even mind where you be wakin' up tomorrow
but mama you been on my mind
Bridge
Am Bm C D
Em A7 Em A7
Am Bm C D
G
I'm not asking you to say words like yes or no
Please understand me, I've no place I'm calling you to go
I'm just whisperin' to myself so I can pretend that I don't know
Mama you been on my mind
G C G C & riff 1
When you wake up in the mornin' baby, look inside your mirror
you know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
as someone who has had you on his mind
Am D G
As someone who has had you on his mind
Am D G
Mama you been on my mind
G
