capo 2nd fret on the third line of the verse the chord changes are quick , just
changing the bass not would suffice

but mama , you been on my mind .

i don’t mean trouble , please don’t put me down or get upset ,
i Am not pleadin’ or sayin’ , “i can’t forget . ”
i do not walk the floor bowed down an’ bent , but yet ,
mama , you been on my mind .

even though my mind is hazy an’ my thoughts they might be narrow ,
where you been don’t bother me nor bring me down in sorrow .
it don’t even matter to me where you’re wakin’ up tomorrow ,
but mama , you’re just on my mind .

i Am not askin’ you to say words like “yes” or “no , ”
please understand me , i got no place for you t’ go .
i’m just breathin’ to myself , pretendin’ not that i don’t know ,
mama , you been on my mind .

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 .

the lyrics are from the bob dylan version , george forgets them in his version
