Chords for MELANIE Lover's Cross (J.Croce) '74

_ _ _ _ _ _ This _ [B] song was written [Eb] by _ Jim Croce, _ _ _ _
[D] called Lovers [Ab] Cross. _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ They [Db] all said it was bound [Eb] to _ [Ebm] happen, _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] was just a matter of time. _ _ _ _
Now [Ab] I've come [Db] to my _ _ decision _ [Eb] and _
_ _ [Ab] it's one of the painful _ [Fm] kind.
_ _ Well _ _ [Db] it seems that [Eb] you _ wanted [Fm] a martyr, _ _ _ _ just [Db] a _ regular [Ab] girl wouldn't _ [Eb] do. _ _ _
Now [Ebm] [Ab] baby, I [Db] can't hang _ upon the [Eb] lovers cross for [Ab] you. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ I really [Db] _ gotta _ hand [Eb] it to ya, _ [Ab] _ _ boy you really _ [Eb] tried. _ _ _
_ _ But [Ab] for _ [Db] every _ _ time that we [Eb] spent laughing [Ebm] there _ [Ab] were two times that I _ [Fm] _ cried. _
_ _ _ [Gb] Cause I never [Eb] was much of [Fm] a martyr _ before _ and [Db] I ain't [Ab] gonna start nothing [Eb] _ new.
_ _ Oh [Ab] baby, I [Db] can't hang _ upon the [Eb] lovers cross for [Ab] you. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ Tables [Eb] are meant _ for _ _ [Ab] turning _ [Db] and people [Ab] are bound [Eb] to change. _
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _ Bridges [Eb] are meant [Db] for _ _ _
[Ab] burning _ [Db] when _ people [Ab] in memories [Db] aren't one in [Eb] the same. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Still [Ab] I hope [Db] that you can _ find [Eb] _ _
another who [Ab] could take what I could [Eb] not. _ _ _ _
She [Ab] would have [Db] to be _ a super [Eb] _ _ _
girl [Ab] or maybe a Joan of [Fm] Arc. _ _ _ _
Now [Db] _ I'm never _ [Eb] _
much [Fm] of a martyr _ before _ [Db] and I ain't [Ab] gonna _ [Gb] start nothing [Eb] _ new. _ _
Oh [Ab] baby, I [Db] can't hang _ upon the [Eb] lovers cross for [Ab] you. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ Oh [Cm] baby, I [Db]
can't hang _ upon the [Eb]
lovers cross for [Ab] you.
I [Db]
can't _ hang upon the [Eb] lovers cross, no baby, _ _ I won't _ hang upon the lovers cross. _ _ _ _ _
