Joan Baez – Daddy You Been On My Mind (Guitar)

G
Perhaps it's the colour of the sun cut flat

    Em           A
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at,

   G                         C              G
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that,

    D                     G   C D
But Daddy, you been on my mind.

G
 I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down, don't get upset,

         Em          A
I am not pleading or saying, "I can't forget you."

  G                           C
I do not walk the floor bowed down and bent,

    G    D                     G Em C D
But yet, Daddy, you been on my mind.

               G
Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow,

          Em                       A
Where you been don't bother me nor bring me down in sorrow.

G                               C           G
It don't even matter who you're waking with tomorrow,

D                        G    C D
Daddy, you're just on my mind.

G
 I am not asking you to say words like "yes" or "no,"

            Em                 A
Please understand me, I 'm not calling for you to go.

         G                               C                G
I'm just breathing to myself, pretending not that I don't know,

     D                     G    C D
That Daddy, you been on my mind.

         G
When you wake up in the morning, baby, look inside your mirror.

       Em                           A
Oh you know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near.

            G                          C               G
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear

   D                              G    C D
As someone who has had you on her mind.

                                  G
As someone who has had you on her mind
