[E] [C#m]
[E] [F#m] Crossroads [E]
seem to come and go
[C#] Yeah
[A]
[E] Gypsy flies from [F#] close to close
[A]
[Bm] Knowing many [C#m] loving [D] none
[E] Bearing sorrow, having fun
[A]
[C] But back home you're [B] always around
You [E] sweet Melissa
[F#m]
[G#m] [E] [F#m] [E]
Great [F#m] train
Each [E] car looks the same
[F#m] All the same
[E] No one knows the [F#m] gypsy's name
[E]
[A] [Bm] No one hears [C#m] his lonely sigh
[D]
[E] There are no blankets where he lies
[A]
Long [C] as he keeps his dreams, [B] the gypsy flies
The [E] sweet Melissa
[F#m] [E]
Again the morning's [D] come
Again he's on the [A] run
Sunbeams shining through [B] his hair
Pairing up to have a [C#m] care
Pick up your gear and [A] gypsy roll
[B]
[E] [F#m] Crossroads
Will you [E] ever let him go?
[C#m] [F#] No, no
[E] Will you hide the [F#m] dead man's ghost?
[A] Nor [Bm] will he last [C#m] beneath the [D]
[E] cliff
Will his spirit float [A] away?
[C] But I know that [B] he won't stay
Without [E] Melissa
[A]
[C] Yes, I know that he [B] won't stay
[E] Without Melissa
[F#] [C#m]
