The Allman Brothers Band – Melissa (Guitar)

E           F#m                Emaj7   F#m
  Crossroads, seem to come and go,        yeah

E                               F#m
  The gypsy flies from coast to coast

A         Bm           Amaj7   Bm
  Knowing many, loving none

E         F#m            Emaj7   A
  Bearing sorrow, havin' fun

Cmaj7                           B                 E  F#m  Emaj7  F#m
     But back home he'll always run to sweet Melissa...   mmm...

E              F#m                   Emaj7   F#m
  Freight train, each car looks the same,       all the same

E                              F#m
  And no one knows the gypsy's name

A        Bm               Amaj7   Bm
  No one hears his lonely sigh

E              F#m               Emaj7   A
  There are no blankets where he lies

Cmaj7                                     B                    E  F#m  Emaj7  F#m
     In all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies with sweet Melissa... mmm...

E
  Again the morning's come

D
  Again he's on the run

A
  Sunbeams shining through his hair

B
  Appearing not to have a care

C#m                                    A      B      B7
    Well, pick up your gear and gypsy roll on, roll on

E         F#m                       Emaj7   F#m
  Crossroads, will you ever let him go?     (Lord, Lord)

E                                 F#m
  Or will you hide the dead man's ghost

A             Bm     Amaj7      Bm
  Or will he lie, beneath the clay

E             F#m          Emaj7   A
  Or will his spirit float away?

Cmaj7                         B                 E   F#m
     But I know that he won't stay without Melissa

Cmaj7                          B                       E
     Yes, I know that he won't stay, yeah, without Melissa
