E F#m/C# G#m/Eb F#m/C#
Crossroads seems will come and go yeah
E F#m/C#The gypsy flies from coast to coast
Knowing many loving none
E F#m G#m ABearing sorrow having fun
Cmaj7 BBut back home you'll always run
E F#m/C# G#m/D# F#m/C# (Fill 1)
To sweet Melissa Hmmm
Freight trains each car looks the same all the same
E F#m/C#And no one knows the gypsy's name
A B C#m DNo one hears his lonely sighs
There are no blankets where he lies
Cmaj7 BLove in the deepest dreams the gypsy cries
E F#m/C# G#m/Eb F#m/C#For sweet Melissa Hmmm
Again the mornin's come
DAgain he's on the run
ASunbeams shinin' through his hair
Better not to have a care
C#mWell pick up your gear
A BAnd gypsy roll on roll on
Crossroads will you ever let him go no no no
E F#m/C#Will you hide the dead man's ghost
A B C#m DLord or will he lie beneath the plain
Or will his spirit fall away
Cmaj7 BBut I know that he won't stay
E F#m/C#Without Melissa
Yes I know that he won't stay
E F#m/C# G#m/Eb F#m/C#Without Melissa
(Outro: E F#m/C# G#m/D# F#m/C# w/ad lib lead)
