DADDY YOU’VE BEEN ON MY MIND
By Bob Dylan

Per-haps it's the col-or 
6    6    6    6   6  6
of the sun cut flat
6  -6   6   6   6
An' cov-er-in' the cross-roads 
5-4  4  4   5   4   -6    -6
I'm stand-in' at.
-6    5   -4  4
Or may-be it's the weath-er 
-4  5  6   5   -4    5   5
or some-thing like that,
5   -4   4     4    5
But dad-dy, you've been on my mind.
4    5  4     5      6  5  5   4      

I don't mean trouble, 
please don't put me down or get upset,
I am not pleading, or saying I can't forget.
I do not walk the floor bowed down and bent, 
but yet Daddy, you're just on my mind.

Even though my mind is hazy and 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,
Daddy, you're just on my mind.

I am not asking you to say 
words like 'yes' and 'no.'
Please understand me, 
I got no place for you to go.
I'm just breathing to myself 
pretending not that I don't know,
Daddy, you been on my mind.

When you wake up in the morning, 
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's had you on her mind.
Bob Dylan
