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