Mama You Been on My Mind Rod Stewart
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]Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut [G/F#]flat
and [Em]coverin' the [A7]crossroads I'm standing at
or [G]maybe it's the wea[D]ther or [Em]something like that[G]
but [Am]mama you been [D]on my mind[G]
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
As [Am]someone who has [D]had you on his mind[G]
[Am]Mama you been [D]on my [G]mind
[G]
