_ _ _ _ Crossroads [F#m] _
[E] seem to come and _ go
[C#] Yeah, _ _ the gypsy flies from coast [F#] to coast
_ _ [A] _ [Bm] Knowing many [A] loving [D] none
_ [E] _ [F#m] Bearing sorrow, [E] having fun
[A] _ _ [C] But back home you'll [B] always run
To sweet [E] Malitha
_ _ [F#m] _ _
[A] _ _ [G#m] _ _ [E] _ _ [F#m] _ _
[G#m] _ _ [E] _ Freight train, [F#m] _
[A] each car [E] looks the _ same
[F#m] All the same, _ [E] no one knows the [F#m] gypsy's name
[E] _ _ [A] _ [Bm] No one hears his [C#m] lonely [D] sigh
_ [E] There [F#m] are no blankets [E] where he [A] lies
_ [C] Loving deepest dreams, the [B] gypsy flies
To [E] sweet Malitha
_ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Again the morning [D] comes
Again he's on the [A] run
Sunbeams shine into his [B] hair
Fear not, don't have a [C#m] care
Pick up your gear and [A] gypsy roll [B] on
The road's _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ a [F#m] crossroads
[A] Will you [E] ever let him _ go?
[C#m] [F#] No, no
_ [E] Will you hide the [F#m] dead man's soul?
_ [A] _ Nor [Bm] will he lie [A] beneath the [D] plain
[E] Will his spirit [G#m] float [A] away?
_ [C] _ But I know that [B] he won't stay without [E] _ Malitha
Yes, [A] _
_ _ [C] _ I know that he [B] won't stay [A] _ [E] without _ [F#] Malitha _ _
[C#m] _ _ [E] _ _ No, [F#] no _
