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

E
Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat

G#m    C#m      F#
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at

   E              C#m     A                 E
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that

    B                     E
But daddy, you been on my mind

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

G#m      C#m      F#
I am not pleading or saying, "I can't forget you"

E        C#m            A                       E
I do not walk the floor bowed down and bent but yet

B                     E
Daddy, you been on my mind

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

G#m      C#m                       F#m              F#
Where you been don't bother me nor bring me down in sorrow

E             C#m               A           E
It don't even matter who you're waking with tomorrow

B                        E
Daddy, you're just on my mind

E
I am not asking you to say words like yes or no

G#m    C#m                    F#m         F#
Please understand me, I'm not calling for you to go

         E            C#m                A                E
I'm just breathing to myself, pretending not that I don't know

B                          E
That daddy, you been on my mind

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

G#m C#m                              F#m                      F#
Oh, you know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near

            E          C#m             A               E
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear

B                  C#             E
As someone who has had you on her mind
