INTRO:
E  F#m7  Emaj7  F#m7

E          F#m7             Emaj7 F#m7
Crossroads seem to come and go, yeah
E                             F#m7
The gypsy flies from coast to coast
A      Bm11         C#m   Bm11
Knowing many loving arms
E       F#m7           Emaj7   F#m7
Bearing sorrow, having fun
Cmaj7	                   F#sus 
But back home he'll always run
         E      F#m7    Emaj7    F#m7
To sweet Melissa

E              F#m7               Emaj7         F#m7
Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same
E                            F#m7
And no one knows the gypsy's name
A      Bm11             C#m   Bm11
No one hears his lonely sigh
E	     F#m7              Emaj7   F#m7
There are no blankets where he lies
Cmaj7	                        F#sus
And in deepest dreams the gypsy flies
            E    F#m7   Emaj7    F#m7
To sweet Melissa
 
E
Again the morning comes
D
Again he's on the run
A
Sunbeam shining through his hair
B
Appearing not to have a care
C#m			      A
Pick up your gear and gypsy roll on
B
Roll on

E           F#m7                 Emaj7   F#m7
Crossroads, will you ever let him go, No, no, no
E                             F#m7
Or will you hide the dead man ghost
A           Bm11           C#m   Bm11
Or will he lie beneath the plain
E           F#m7         Emaj7   F#m7
Or will his spirit float away
Cmaj7                    F#sus
But I know that he won't stay
        E      F#m7   Emaj7    F#m7
Without Melissa

Cm7                      F#sus
Yes I know that he won't stay
        E     F#m7    Emaj7    F#m7
Without Melissa

repeat and fade (E, F#m7, Emaj7,F#m7)
