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 |

^CPerhaps it's the color of the sun cut ^E7flat An' ^Amcov'rin' the c^D7/F#rossroads I'm standing at Or ^Cmaybe it's the weat^C/Bher ^Amor s^C/Gomething li^Fmaj7ke that But ^C/Gmama you been o^G6n my mi^Cnd.

^CI don't mean trouble please don't put me down or get up^E7set I am not pleadin'^Am or s^D7/F#ayin' "I can't forget." I ^Cdo not walk the f^C/Bloor bowe^Amd down an' b^C/Gent but yet ^Fmaj7 M^C/Gama you been o^G6n my m^Cind.

Even t^Chough 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. It d^Con't e^C/Bven ma^Amtter to me where ^C/Byou're wa^Fmaj7kin' up tomorrow ^F#dim7But mam^Ca you're ju^G6st on my mi^Cnd.

C E7/B I am not askin' you to say words like "yes" or "no"

Please under^Amstand me I g^D7/F#ot no place for you t' go. I'm just b^Creathin' to m^C/Bysel^Amf pretendin' not tha^Fmaj7t I don't know ^C/GMama you been^G6 on my mi^Cnd.

Instrumental | C E7 | Am | D7/F# | C/G C/B Am | | F F#dim7 | C/G G6 | C G | G7 N.C. |

When you ^Cwake up in the mornin' baby look inside your mirror. You k^E7now I won't be next to you you kn^Amow I w^Am/Gon't be n^D7/F#ear. I'd just b^Ce curious to know if you can s^Fmaj7ee yourself as clear ^F#dim7As someo^C/Gne who has h^G7ad you on his min^Cd ^G ^G7 ^C

That's it. Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
