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
