[Intro]
E   A6   Emaj7   A6
[Verse 1]
E        A6             Emaj7      A6
Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah
E                     A6
The gypsy flies from coast to coast
A        E7sus2      C#m/E  D
Knowing many, loving none
E       A6     Emaj7    A/E
Bearing sorrow havin' fun
Cmaj7                      B                E    A6   Emaj7   A6
But back home he'll always run to sweet Melissa...... mmm......
[Verse 2]
E              A6               Emaj7          A6
Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same
E                         A6
And no one knows the gypsy's name
A        E7sus2         C#m/E    D
No one hears his lonely sigh
E         A6            Emaj7    A6
There are no blankets where he lies
Cmaj7                                B
In all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies
             E     A6    Emaj7   A6
with sweet Melissa.... mmm........
[Chorus]
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 3]
E           A6                 Emaj7    A6
Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (lord, lord)
E                     A6
Will you hide the dead man's ghost
A          E7sus2           C#m/E     D
Or will he lie, beneath the clay
E         A6        Emaj7        A6
Or will his spirit roll away?
Cmaj7                    B               E     A6
But I know that he won't stay without Melissa
Cmaj7                    B               E     A6   Emaj7  A6
Yes I know that he won't stay without Melissa
[Outro]
E   A6   Emaj7   A6
(Repeat until end)
