Verse1

  E       Esus4            Emaj7   Esus4
Crossroads seem to come and go,      yeah
 E                               Esus4
The gypsy flies from coast to coast
 A      Bm            C#m
Knowing many, loving none,
E       F#m           G#m   A         
Bearing sorrow havin' fun,
C#m                         B               E     Esus4 Emaj7 Esus4
But back home he'll always run to sweet melissa... mmm..

Verse2

Freight train, each car looks the same
All the same
and no one knows the gypsy's name
no one hears his lonely sigh
there are no blankets where he lies
and in deepest dreams the gypsy flies
to sweet Melissa

E
Again the morning comes
D
again he's on the run
A
sunbeam shining through his hair
B
Better not to have a care
C#m                                 A
So pick up your gear and gypsy roll on
B
roll on


Verse 3
Crossroads, will you ever let him go, No, no, no
or will you hide the dead man ghost
or will he lie beneath the plain
or will his spirit float away
but I know that he won't stay
without Melissa



Cmaj7                    B
Yes I know that he won't stay
           E        
without Melissa
 Emaj7    Esus4               E      Esus4 Emaj7 Esus4
No,   no   he just won't stay    mmm
