"Crossroads" by Don McLean Taken from the album "American Pie" 24 February 1995 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: G / Em / C / Am / D Em Am I've got nothing on my mind D Nothing to remember G D/F# Em Nothing to forget Am D I've got nothing to regret G Am But I'm all tied up on the inside C D G No-one knows quite what I've got Em Am And I know that on the outside C D What I used to be - I'm not G C G Anymore G Am You know I've heard about people like me C D G But I never made the connection G Am They walk one road to set them free C D And find they've gone the wrong direction G Am But there's no need for turning back C D G 'cause all roads lead to where I stand Em Am And I believe I'll walk them all C D G No matter what I may have planned Em Am Can you remember who I was D Can you still feel it G D/F# Em Can you find my pain C D Can you heal it G Am And lay your hands upon me now C D G And cast this darkness from my soul Em Am You alone can light my way C D You alone can make me whole G C G Once again G Am We've walked both sides of ev'ry street C D G Through all kinds of windy weather G Am But that was never our defeat C D As long as we could walk together G Am So there's no need for turning back C D G 'cause all roads lead to where we stand Em Am And I believe we'll walk them all C D Em C G C G No matter what we may have planned There are two sets of chords for the verses: Verse 1 & Verse 3 are identical Verse 2 & Verse 4 are more or less the same 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 Lyrics & guitar transcribed by: Lee Francis Wilhelmsen Erlevn 4, Lye 4340 Bryne Norway francis@GRIBB.hsr.no francis@hsr.no 19(C)95
