F Gm Am Gm

F         Gm                Am    Gm
Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.
F                             Gm
The gypsy flies from coast to coast
A#       Cm            Dm   D#
Knowing many, loving none,
F       Gm             Am   A#
Bearing sorrow havinʼ fun,
C#                           C                 F Gm Am Gm
But back home heʼll always run to sweet melissa... mmm...

F             Gm                   Am   Gm
Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same.
F                       Gm
And no one knows the gypsyʼs name

A#       Cm               Dm    D#
No one hears his lonely sigh,
F              Gm                Am A#
There are no blankets where he lies.
C#                                     C                 F Gm Am Gm
In all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies with sweet melissa... mmm...

F
Again the morningʼs come,
D#
Again heʼs on the run,
A#
Sunbeams shining through his hair,
C
Appearing not to have a care.
Dm                                 A#       C
Well, pick up your gear and gypsy roll on, roll on.

F          Gm                     Am        Gm
Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (lord, lord)
F                        Gm
Will you hide the dead manʼs ghost,
A#          Cm                Dm     D#
Or will he lie, beneath the clay,
F              Gm          Am       A#
Or will his spirit roll away?

C#                          C               F Gm Am Gm
But I know that he wonʼt stay without melissa.
C#                          C               F Gm Am Gm
Yes I know that he wonʼt stay without melissa.
