Verse 1: Jeff Buckley:
 C/GC/G                  E7E7
Perhaps it is the color of the sun cut flat
   A minorAm              D7/F#D7/F#
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at
  C majorC         E MajorE     A minorAm      Fmaj7Fmaj7
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
  C majorC         G+G    C majorC
But mama, you've been on my mind

Verse 2:
  C/GC/G                         E7E7
I mean no trouble, please don't put me down, don't get upset
         A minorAm     D7/F#D7/F#
I am not pleading, or saying I can't forget you
  C majorC         E MajorE      A minorAm      Fmaj7Fmaj7
I do not pace the floor, bowed down and bent, but yet
    C majorC       G+G    C majorC
Well, mama you've been on my mind


Verse 3:
  C/GC/G
Even though my eyes are hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow
    E7E7            A minorAm       D7/F#D7/F#
Where you've been don't bother me, or bring me down in sorrow
   C majorC      E MajorE         A minorAm      Fmaj7Fmaj7
I don't even mind who you'll be waking with tomorrow
   C majorC        G+G   C majorC
But mama, you're just on my mind


Verse 4:
  C/GC/G
I am not askin' you to say words like yes or no
        E7E7   A minorAm           D7/F#D7/F#
Please understand me, I have no place, I'm calling you
     C majorC         E MajorE        A minorAm        Fmaj7Fmaj7
I'm just whispering to myself so I can pretend that I don't know
  C majorC       G+G   C majorC
Mama, you're just on my mind

C/GC/G  E7E7
A minorAm  D7/F#D7/F#
C majorC   E MajorE  A minorAm  Fmaj7Fmaj7

   C majorC        G+G   C majorC
Well, mama you're just on my mind


Verse 5:
   C/GC/G                           E7E7
When you wake up in the morning, baby look inside your mirror
             A minorAm            D7/F#D7/F#
You know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near
  C majorC          E MajorE        A minorAm        Fmaj7Fmaj7
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
  C majorC         G+G      C majorC
As someone who has had you on his mind
