Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.
E5                             F#5                   
The gypsy flies from coast to coast
A5       B5            C#5   D5
Knowing many, loving none,
E5       F#5             Ab5   A5         
Bearing sorrow havin' fun,
C5                           B5                 E5 F#5 Ab5 F#5
But back home he'll always run to sweet melissa... mmm...

E5             F#5                   Ab5   F#5                   
Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same.
E5                       F#5           
And no one knows the gypsy's name

A5       B5               C#5    D5      
No one hears his lonely sigh,
E5              F#5                Ab5 A5      
There are no blankets where he lies.
C5                                     B5                 E5 F#5 Ab5 F#5
In all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies with sweet melissa... mmm...

E5
Again the morning's come,
D5
Again he's on the run,
A5
Sunbeams shining through his hair,
B5
Appearing not to have a care.
C#5                                 A5       B5
Well, pick up your gear and gypsy roll on, roll on.


E5          F#5                     Ab5        F#5
Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (lord, lord)
E5                        F#5
Will you hide the dead man's ghost,
A5          B5                C#5     D5
Or will he lie, beneath the clay,
E5              F#5          Ab5       A5
Or will his spirit roll away? 

C5                          B5               E5 F#5 Ab5 F#5
But I know that he won't stay without melissa.
C5                          B5               E5 F#5 Ab5 F#5
Yes I know that he won't stay without melissa.
