Verse 1: Jeff Buckley:
 C/G                  E7
Perhaps it is the color of the sun cut flat
   Am              D7/F#
And covering the crossroads I'm standing at
  C         E     Am      Fmaj7
Or maybe it's the weather or something like that
  C         G    C
But mama, you've been on my mind

Verse 2:
  C/G                         E7
I mean no trouble, please don't put me down, don't get upset
         Am     D7/F#
I am not pleading, or saying I can't forget you
  C         E      Am      Fmaj7
I do not pace the floor, bowed down and bent, but yet
    C       G    C
Well, mama you've been on my mind


Verse 3:
  C/G
Even though my eyes are hazy and my thoughts they might be narrow
    E7            Am       D7/F#
Where you've been don't bother me, or bring me down in sorrow
   C      E         Am      Fmaj7
I don't even mind who you'll be waking with tomorrow
   C        G   C
But mama, you're just on my mind


Verse 4:
  C/G
I am not askin' you to say words like yes or no
        E7   Am           D7/F#
Please understand me, I have no place, I'm calling you
     C         E        Am        Fmaj7
I'm just whispering to myself so I can pretend that I don't know
  C       G   C
Mama, you're just on my mind

C/G  E7
Am  D7/F#
C   E  Am  Fmaj7

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


Verse 5:
   C/G                           E7
When you wake up in the morning, baby look inside your mirror
             Am            D7/F#
You know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near
  C          E        Am        Fmaj7
I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
  C         G      C
As someone who has had you on his mind
