{sov:Verse 1:}
Cr[E]ossroads [F#m7] seem to come and[Emaj7] go, ye[F#m7]ah
T[E]he gypsy flies from coast to c[F#m7]oast
Kn[A]owing m[Bm]any loving [C#m]none [] [D]
b[E]earing s[F#m7]orrow, having f[Emaj7]un[A]
b[Cmay7]ut back home he'll always r[Bsus4]un
To sweet Me[E]lissa [] [F#m7] [] [Emaj7]
{eov}

{sov:Verse 2:}
Freight train, each car looks the same (all the same)
and no one knows the gypsy's name
no one hears his lonely sigh
there are no blankets where he lies
and in deepest dreams the gypsy flies
with  sweet Melissa   hmmm  mmmm
{eov}

{sob:Bridge:}
[E]Again the morning comes
[D]again he's on the run
[A]sunbeam shining through his hair
[B]appearing not to have a care
[C#m]pick up your gear and gypsy [A]roll on
[B]roll on
{eob}

{sov:Verse 3:}
Crossroads, will you ever let him go, no, no, no
or will you hide the dead man's ghost
or will he lie beneath the plain
or will his spirit float away
but I know that he won't stay,
without Melissa
{eov}

Yes I know that he won't stay
without Melissa
No, no he just won't stay
