The gypsy flies from coast to coast
A augmentedA 
B minorBm 
C# minorC#m

Knowing many, loving none,
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
Bearing sorrow havin' fun,
C majorC 
BB E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m F# minorF#m
But back home he'll always run to sweet melissa... mmm...
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m F# minorF#m
Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same.
E MajorE F# minorF#m
And no one knows the gypsy's name
A augmentedA B minorBm C# minorC#m D MajorD
No one hears his lonely sigh,
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
There are no blankets where he lies.
C majorC BB E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m F# minorF#m
In all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies with sweet melissa... mmm...
E MajorE
Again the morning's come,
D MajorD
Again he's on the run,
A augmentedA
Sunbeams shining through his hair,
BB
Appearing not to have a care.
C# minorC#m A augmentedA BB
Well, pick up your gear and gypsy roll on, roll on.
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m F# minorF#m
Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (lord, lord)
E MajorE F# minorF#m
Will you hide the dead man's ghost,
A augmentedA B minorBm C# minorC#m D MajorD
Or will he lie, beneath the clay,
E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m A augmentedA
Or will his spirit roll away?
C majorC BB E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m F# minorF#m
But I know that he won't stay without melissa.
C majorC BB E MajorE F# minorF#m G# minorG#m F# minorF#m
Yes I know that he won't stay without melissa.
