Mama You Been On My Mind

a complete take of this song was recorded for bob dylan’s second 1964 album ’’another side of bob dylan’’ , but for reasons unknown , it was rejected . anyway , the best way to play this song is : capo on the 5th fret : Intro | C | C | F F#dim7 | C/G | C | C | F F#dim7 | C/G G#dim7 Am | C E7 perhaps it’s the color of the sun cut flat Am D7/F# an’ cov’rin’ the crossroads i’m standing at C C/B Am C/G Fmaj7 or maybe it’s the weather or something like that C/G G6 C but mama you been on my mind . C E7 i don’t mean trouble please don’t put me down or get upset Am D7/F# i Am not pleadin’ or sayin’ "i can’t forget . " C C/B Am C/G Fmaj7 i do not walk the floor bowed down an’ bent but yet C/G G6 C mama you been on my mind . C even though my mind is hazy an’ my thoughts they might be narrow E7/B Am D7/F# where you been don’t bother me nor bring me down in sorrow . C C/B Am C/B Fmaj7 it don’t even matter to me where you’re wakin’ up tomorrow F#dim7 C G6 C but mama you’re just on my mind . C E7/B i Am not askin’ you to say words like "yes" or "no" Am D7/F# please understand me i got no place for you t’ go . C C/B Am Fmaj7 i’m just breathin’ to myself pretendin’ not that i don’t know C/G G6 C mama you been on my mind . instrumental | C E7 | Am | D7/F# | C/G C/B Am | | F F#dim7 | C/G G6 | C G | G7 n .
