The current name given to it is a reference to "You Mind has Left Your Body," a song from an obscure and I believe out-of-print album by the Jefferson Airplane. However, it is a basic and not very original chord progression and does not need to be derivative of any source. It's very likely that Weir came up with the chords during a jam. However, if I may suggest an alternative source, these chords are the same as the intro to the Paul McCartney song "Man We Was Lonely" off his first solo album, 1970's "McCartney." On this same album is another song the Dead would play years later, "That Would Be Something," so we can be sure that Garcia was familiar with the album.
