Intro - E, F#m7, Emaj7,F#m7

Verse1

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[Bm11]any loving [C#m]arms [Bm11]

b[E]earing s[F#m7]orrow, having f[Emaj7]un [A]

b[C]ut back home he'll always r[B]un

To sweet Me[E]lissa [F#m7] [Emaj7]

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

Chorus

[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]Yes I know that he won't s[B]tay

F#m7

without Melissa

N[Emaj7]o, no he just wo[F#m7]n't stay

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

#I haven't picked out the tab for the lead for Melissa but here is the chord
#progression as close as I can get to what Greg Allman plays.  The F#m7 and
#Emaj7 are a pretty good stretch until you get used to playing them, but they
#get easier.  Note the two forms of C#m.  The first form is played throughout
#except in the line 'Pick up your gear and gypsy roll on' in the chorus.
