Melissa
Allman Brothers Band
By: Guga Fabbro
E F#m G#m F#m
E F#m G#m F#mCrossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.
E F#mThe gypsy flies from coast to coast
A Bm C#m DKnowing many, loving none,
E F#m G#m ABearing sorrow havin' fun,
C B E F#m G#m F#mBut back home he'll always run to sweet melissa... mmm...
E F#m G#m F#mFreight train, each car looks the same, all the same.
E F#mAnd no one knows the gypsy's name
A Bm C#m DNo one hears his lonely sigh,
E F#m G#m AThere are no blankets where he lies.
C B E F#m G#m F#mIn all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies with sweet melissa... mmm...
EAgain the morning's come,
DAgain he's on the run,
ASunbeams shining through his hair,
BAppearing not to have a care.
C#m A BWell, pick up your gear and gypsy roll on, roll on.
E F#m G#m F#mCrossroads, will you ever let him go? (lord, lord)
E F#mWill you hide the dead man's ghost,
A Bm C#m DOr will he lie, beneath the clay,
E F#m G#m AOr will his spirit roll away?
C B E F#m G#m F#mBut I know that he won't stay without melissa.
C B E F#m G#m F#mYes I know that he won't stay without melissa.
