[E] _ _ _ _ [F#m] Crossroads seem to [E] come and _ _ [F#m] go, yeah, yeah, [E] yeah.
The gypsy flies from [F#m] coast to _ coast,
[A] _ [E] Knowing many a [C#m] learned [D] love, _
[E] _ [F#m] Here in sorrow, [E] having [A] fun.
But [C] _ back home he'll [B] always run to [E] sweet Melissa.
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
[E] _ Oh, oh, oh.
[F#m] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ Bread [F#m] trains, _ each car [E] looks the same, yeah.
_ [F#m] And all the same, _
[E] _ no one knows the [F#m] gypsy's name. _ _
[A] _ [B] No one hears his [C#m] lonely _ [D] sighs,
[E] There [F#m] are no blankets [E] where he [A] lies.
[C] Floating through the streams the [B] gypsy flies
To [E] sweet Melissa.
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
[E] _ Again the morning [D] comes, again it's on the [A] run,
A sunbeam's shining through his [B] hair,
But all he does is have a [C#m] care.
Pick up your gear and [A] gypsy roll, _ _
[B] roll, _ _ [F#] _ roll. _
[E] _ _ _ [F#] Crossroads, _ will you [E] ever let him go?
_ [F#] Now, now, _
[E] will you hide the dead [F#m] man's soul? _ _
[A] Or will [B] he lie [C#m] beneath the [D] clear air?
[E] Or [F#m] will his spirit [E] fall [A] away? _
[C] Lord, I know he [B] won't stay [F#] without [E] Melissa.
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
[D#] _ [G#m] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
[C] _ Yes, I know he [B] won't stay there without [E] Melissa.
_ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ No, no, no, [E] no.
