From the album "Orange Blossom Special" (1965) [Intro] C Am F G C [Verse 1]
         C
When you wake up in the morning baby look inside your mirror

           Am               Dm              G
I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near

       C                                        Am
I'd be curious to know if your reflection is as clear

       Dm                G     C
As the one that I've got on my mind

F              G     C
Mama, you been on my mind
[Instrumental] Am F G [Verse 2]
     C                                                        Am
Well perhaps it's the wind and the dark dark night that's covering

    Dm                  G
The crossroads that I'm at

    C                                        Am
And maybe it's the weather or something like that

    Dm             G     C
But mama, you been on my mind

F              G     C
Mama, you been on my mind
[Instrumental] Am F G [Verse 3]
       C
Well I don't need trouble, please don't put me down

                 Am                   Dm                G
Don't get upset, I am not pleading, I won't say I'll forget

    C                                            Am
And I won't pace a floor bowed down and bent but yet

Dm             G     C
Mama, you been on my mind

F              G     C
Mama, you been on my mind
[Instrumental] Am F G [Verse 4]
     C
Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts are kinda narrow

          Am                               Dm        G
Where you been don't bother me or bring me down with sorrow

         C                                        Am
It don't matter to me where you'll be waking up tomorrow

    Dm            G     C
But mama you been on my mind

F             G     C
Mama you been on my mind
[Outro] Am F G
