Crossroads ■ seem to come and go    ■ yeah
E                      A             
■ The gypsy flies from coast to coast
Bm7                 Amaj7 Dbm7 A
Knowing many loving none  ■    ■
E Gbm7           Emaj7      A

Cmaj7                            B7  B

[Verse]
              Gbm7                    Emaj7 Gbm7         A   
Freight train ■    each car looks the same  ■    all the same
E                              Gbm7 E
■ And no one knows the Gypsy's name ■
A        Bm7              Dbm7 
■ No one hears his lonely sighs
E              Gbm7           E      
■ There are no blankets where he lies
       Emaj7 E Cmaj7 C       Cmaj7            B7    B
In all his   ■ ■     deepest dreams the Gypsy flies ■
B7         E       Gbm7 E  
With sweet Melissa ■    mmm

[Verse]
                    D   
Again the morning's come
                  A  
Again he's on the run
                             B   
Sunbeams shining through his hair
B                           
Appearing not to have a care
     Dbm                             A              
Well ■   pick up your gear and Gypsy roll on roll on
B          B7 E Gbm7          E            Abm7 Emaj7 Gbm7
Crossroads ■  ■ ■    will you ever let him go   ■     ■   
E                              Gbm7  A
■ Will you hide the dead man's ghost ■
           Bm7 Amaj7       D   
Or will he lie beneath the clay
E             Gbm7   E          A
■ Or will his spirit float away ■
C                          B7           E       Gbm7
■ But I know that he won't stay without Melissa ■   


[Chorus]
Cmaj7                          B            E
