This is a nice song with only Don's voice and piano - no guitar...
The lyrics and chords follow...

Listen to the album. The song itself isn't hard at all...
Good luck.

Crossroads (Don McLean)

Intro: G5 / E5 / C5 / A5 / D5

E5                       A5
  I've got nothing on my mind
             D5
  Nothing to remember
G5 D5       E5
  Nothing to forget
           A5         D5
  I've got nothing to regret
G5                            A5
  But I'm all tied up on the inside
C5        D5                     G5
  No-one knows quite what I've got
E5                       A5
  And I know that on the outside
         C5                D5
  What I used to be - I'm not
     G5   C5   G5
  Anymore


G5                                       A5
  You know I've heard about people like me
C5             D5        G5
  But I never made the connection
G5                                A5
  They walk one road to set them free
C5                                 D5
  And find they've gone the wrong direction
G5                                 A5
  But there's no need for turning back
C5                  D5               G5
  'cause all roads lead to where I stand
E5                             A5
  And I believe I'll walk them all
C5           D5               G5
  No matter what I may have planned


E5                       A5
  Can you remember who I was
                D5
  Can you still feel it
G5         D5    E5
  Can you find my pain
C5         D5
  Can you heal it
G5                            A5
  And lay your hands upon me now
C5               D5                G5
  And cast this darkness from my soul
E5                       A5
  You alone can light my way
C5                       D5
  You alone can make me whole
        G5   C5   G5
  Once again


G5                                  A5
  We've walked both sides of ev'ry street
C5             D5              G5
  Through all kinds of windy weather
G5                        A5
  But that was never our defeat
C5                          D5
  As long as we could walk together
G5                                A5
  So there's no need for turning back
C5                  D5                G5
  'cause all roads lead to where we stand
E5                              A5
  And I believe we'll walk them all
C5           D5                E5  C5  G5  C5  G5
  No matter what we may have planned

Crossroads (Don McLean)

I've got nothing on my mind
Nothing to remember
Nothing to forget
I've got nothing to regret
But I'm all tied up on the inside
No-one knows quite what I've got
And I know that on the outside
What I used to be - I'm not
Anymore

You know I've heard about people like me
But I never made the connection
They walk one road to set them free
And find they've gone the wrong direction
But there's no need for turning back
'cause all roads lead to where I stand
And I believe I'll walk them all
No matter what I may have planned

Can you remember who I was
Can you still feel it
Can you find my pain
Can you heal it
And lay your hands upon me now
And cast this darkness from my soul
You alone can light my way
You alone can make me whole
Once again

We've walked both sides of ev'ry street
Through all kinds of windy weather
But that was never our defeat
As long as we could walk together
So there's no need for turning back
'cause all roads lead to where we stand
And I believe we'll walk them all
No matter what we may have planned
