Verse1 
  
  E       F#m7             G#m7  F#m7  
Crossroads seem to come and go  yeah  
 E                             F#m7  
The gypsy flies from coast to coast  
  A      Bm7         A/C#  D   
Knowing many loving none  
 E       F#m           G#m   A  
bearing sorrow  having fun  
 C                                        B  
but back home he'll always run  
           E       F#m7   G#m7  
To sweet Melissa  
  
Verse2 
Same chord progression as verse 1.  
  
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  
to sweet Melissa  

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 (second version)         A  
pick up your gear and gypsy roll on  
B  
roll on
 
  
Verse 3 (same as 1 & 2 until end)  
Crossroads  will you ever let him go  No  no  no  
or will you hide the dead man ghost  
or will he lie beneath the plain  
or will his spirit float away  
but I know that he won't stay  
           E      F#m7   
without Melissa  
C                         B  
Yes I know that he won't stay  
                F#m7  
without Melissa  
 Emaj7           F#m7  
No  no he just won't stay  

repeat and fade (E  F#m7  Emaj7 F#m7)

I have some preferences on the playing of the _chords_ in 'Melissa' that  
differ a bit from his  which I think you'll find easier to play (and maybe  
even sound better):  
  
  
(excuse the lack of rhythm & timing  but I think you can figure it out)
