Well perhaps it's the wind and the dark dark night that's coverin'
The crossroads that I'm at
And maybe it's the weather-r-r somethin' like that
Am  D               G     C
But Mama you've been on my mind

Well I don't need trouble please don't put me down I am not pleading
Or sayin' I cannot forget

Even though my mind is hazy and my thoughts they might narrow where you been don't bother me
Or bring me down with sorrow
It don't matter to me where you're wakin' up tomorrow
But Mama you've been on my mind

When you wake up in the mornin' baby look inside your mirror I won't be next to you
You know I won't be near
I'd be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear 
As someone who's had you on his mind 

TRUMPETS: C Am G C

Am               G     C
Mama you've been on my mind

hi tyler!

Is that correct? (lines 1-2 sound strange):

VERSE 1:
When you (C) wake up in the mornin', baby (Am) look inside your mirror, I won't be next to (F) you
You (C) know I won't be (G) near

I'd be (C) curious to know if your re(Am)flection is as clear
As the (F) one that I've got (G) on my (C) mind

(F) Mama you've been (G) on my (C) mind

On my "Orange Blossom Special" album, there are 2 versions of this song: track 7 (recorded 12/17/64) and track 15 (a bonus track previously unreleased in the U.S. recorded 7/27-28/64). Lyrics and rhythm are a little bit different, but I think chords are the same...
I prefer track 15 (earlier version of track 7) 'cause it is more "punchy", and 'cause lead guitar sounds better. So that's the song that I'm looking for. Thanks for helping.

Honkeytonkboy,

Since you requested this song, I have went back through and changed the chord progression & lead to match the early take (track 15) of MAMA YOU'VE BEEN ON MY MIND. The one I posted before was the master take (track 7) recorded several months later. I was not sure at first which version you wanted. I also perfer the early take. Hope this helps.

Hi Tyler,

My old computer broke off 1 month ago,
but now I'm back on the internet with a brand new G5 computer! ^_^

During this time, I learnt a lot of Johnny's songs,
and I've got some new ones to suggest you:
(of course, lead guitar is welcome too)

Always Alone

Goodbye Little Darlin'
I Love You Because
It's Just About Time
My Treasure

If you'd like to save time when you're
typing up your tabs, you could put "Repeat
Intro 2x, and then Mute Riff" where the
intro is repeated. Also, where you have the
muted guitar riff after some of the verses,
you could typr it out the first time it
appears, and then write "Repeat" where it's
needed.
It's just a suggestion if you'd like to
save time when typing up your tabs.
This is a good tab. I use the original chords that Bob Dylan uses,(He uses C7, C7/B, and other different types of chords, but Cash's version is awesome. I love the guitars in Cash's songs. I've seen your tab
here before, but didn't get a chance to
say that you did a great job with it, like
your other tabs. Countrytabs is very very
lucky to have you submitting songs here.
