Tonality
EF#mG#mF#mEF#mG#mF#m
Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.
EF#m
The gypsy flies from coast to coast
ABmC#mD
Knowing many, loving none,
EF#mG#mA
Bearing sorrow havinʼ fun,
CBEF#mG#mF#m
But back home heʼll always run to sweet melissa... mmm...
EF#mG#mF#m
Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same.
EF#m
And no one knows the gypsyʼs name
ABmC#mD
No one hears his lonely sigh,
EF#mG#mA
There are no blankets where he lies.
CBEF#mG#mF#m
In all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies with sweet melissa... mmm...
E
Again the morningʼs come,
D
Again heʼs on the run,
A
Sunbeams shining through his hair,
B
Appearing not to have a care.
C#mAB
Well, pick up your gear and gypsy roll on, roll on.
EF#mG#mF#m
Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (lord, lord)
EF#m
Will you hide the dead manʼs ghost,
ABmC#mD
Or will he lie, beneath the clay,
EF#mG#mA
Or will his spirit roll away?
CBEF#mG#mF#m
But I know that he wonʼt stay without melissa.
CBEF#mG#mF#m
Yes I know that he wonʼt stay without melissa.
