Cross-roads seem to come and go, yeah
-4 -8 -8 -8 7* 7* 7*-6* 6 -6*
the gyp-sy flies, from coast to coast.
8* 8* 8*-8-8 8* 8* 8*-8-76
Know-in man- y lov-in none,
7* 7* -7 7* 7* -8 7*-6*6-6*
bear-ing sor-row hav-ing fun
-8 -8 -7 7 7 -7 -8
but back home he’ll al-ways run,
7* -7 7* -8 7*
to sweet Me-lis-sa.
-8 -8 -8 -7 7* -6* 7*
Freight train, each car looks the same,
7* 7* -6*65*
all the same.
-4 -8 -8 -8 7* 7* 7* 7*-6*6
And no one knows the gyp-sys name
8* 8* 8* -8 10 10 9*-8-7-6*
No one hears his lone-ly si-gh,
7* 7* 7* -7 7* 7* -8 7*-6*6-6*
there_are no blank-ets where he lies.
-8 -8 -8 -8 -8 -8 7 7 -7 7 -8 7*
In all his deep-est dreams the gyp-sy flies,
7* -7 7* -8 7* -10*109*
with sweet Me-lis-sa. Mm
-4 -8 -8 -8 -8 -87*
A-gain the morn-ing’s come
6 -8 -8 -8 -6* -7-8
A-gain he’s on the run
8* 8* 8* 8* 8* -8 -7-8
Sun-beams shin-ing through his hair,
-6* -9 -9 -9 -10* -9 -9 8*-88*
ap-pear-ing not to have a care,
7* 10 10 9* 10
Well, pick up your gear
10 10 9* -10*10 8*-8-7 -98*-8 -8
and gyp-sy roll on, roll on.
-8 8*-9 -8 -7 7*-6* 7* -8 7* -6*65*
Cross-roads, will you ev-er let_him go?
-8 -8 -8 7* 7* 7* 6-6*
Will you hide the dead man’s ghost?
8* 8* 10 8*-78*-7 -10* 10 -8-76-6*-7
Or will he lie be-neath the clay?
6 7* 7* -7 7* 7* -7 7*-6*65*
Or will his spir-it roll a- way?
7 -8 -8-77 7 7 -7 -8
But I know that he won’t stay,
7* -7 7* -7 7*
with-out Me-lis-sa.
-8 -8-8-77 7 -7 -7 -8-9-8
Yes I know that he won’t stay,
7* -7 7* -8 -8-77*
With-out Me-lis- sa
