{Intro} [E F#m G#m F#m]

{Verse} [E F#m G#m F#m] Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah. [E F#m] The gypsy flies from coast to coast [A Bm C#m D] Knowing many, loving none, [E F#m G#m A] Bearing sorrow havin’ fun, [Cmaj7 B E F#m G#m F#m] But back home he’ll always run to sweet melissa… mmm…

{Verse} [E F#m G#m F#m] Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same. [E F#m] And no one knows the gypsy’s name [A Bm C#m D] No one hears his lonely sigh, [E F#m G#m A] There are no blankets where he lies. [Cmaj7 B E F#m G#m F#m] In all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies with sweet melissa… mmm…

{Bridge} [E] Again the morning’s come, [D] Again he’s on the run, [A] Sunbeams shining through his hair, [B] Appearing not to have a care. [C#m A B] Well, pick up your gear and gypsy roll on, roll on.

{Verse} [E F#m G#m F#m] Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (lord, lord) [E F#m] Will you hide the dead man’s ghost, [A Bm C#m D] Or will he lie, beneath the clay, [E F#m G#m A] Or will his spirit roll away? [Cmaj7 B E F#m G#m F#m] But I know that he won’t stay without melissa. [maj7 B E F#m G#m F#m] Yes I know that he won’t stay without melissa.
