E F#m/C# G#m/D# F#m/C#
Crossroads seems will come and go yeah
E F#m/C#
The gypsy flies from coast to coast
A B C#m D
Knowing many loving none
E F#m G#m A
Bearing sorrow having fun
Cmaj7 B
But back home you'll always run
E F#m/C# G#m/D# F#m/C# (Fill 1)
To sweet Melissa Hmmm
E F#m/C# G#m/D# F#m/C#
Freight trains each car looks the same all the same
E F#m/C#
And no one knows the gypsy's name
A B C#m D
No one hears his lonely sighs
E F#m G#m A
There are no blankets where he lies
Cmaj7 B
Love in the deepest dreams the gypsy cries
E F#m/C# G#m/D# F#m/C#
For sweet Melissa Hmmm
E
Again the mornin's come
D
Again he's on the run
A
Sunbeams shinin' through his hair
B
Better not to have a care
C#m
Well pick up your gear
A B
And gypsy roll on roll on
E F#m/C# G#m/D# F#m/D#
Crossroads will you ever let him go no no no
E F#m/C#
Will you hide the dead man's ghost
A B C#m D
Lord or will he lie beneath the plain
E F#m G#m A
Or will his spirit fall away
Cmaj7 B
But I know that he won't stay
E F#m/C#
Without Melissa
Cmaj7 B
Yes I know that he won't stay
E F#m/C# G#m/D# F#m/C#
Without Melissa
(Outro: E F#m/C# G#m/D# F#m/C# w/ad lib lead)
Repeat and fade
