Rod Stewart – Mama You Been On My Mind (Guitar)

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
