“Melissa” by Allman Brothers Band (Chords And Lyrics)

    Crossroads seem to come and go      
    The gypsy flys from coast to coast
    Knowing many loving none  
    Bearing sorrow having fun     
    But back home he'll always run, to see Melissa                      
    
    Freight train, each car looks the same   
    No one knows the gypsy's name
    And no one hears his lonely sigh    
    There are no blankets where he lies   
    Beneath his dreams the gypsy flies, with sweet Melissa                        
    
    {c:Bridge}
    Again the morning comes Again he's on the run
    Sunbeam shining through his hair Care enough to have a care
    Pick up your gear and gypsy roll on, roll on
    
    Crossroads, will you ever let him go   
    Will you hide the dead man's ghost
    Will he lie beneath the clay   
    Will his spirit float away    
    But I know that he won't stay, without Melissa  
    But I know that he won't stay, without Melissa  
    But I know that he won't stay, without Melissa
