"Crossroads" by Don McLean
Taken from the album "American Pie"
24 February 1995
This is a nice song with only Don's voice and piano - no guitar...
The lyrics and chords follow...
Listen to the album. The song itself isn't hard at all...
Good luck.
Crossroads (Don McLean)
Intro: G / Em / C / Am / D
Em I've got nothing on my Ammind
Nothing to Dremember
G D/F#Nothing to Emforget
I've got Amnothing to Dregret
G But I'm all tied up on the Aminside
C No-one Dknows quite what I've Ggot
Em And I know that on the Amoutside
What I Cused to be - I'm Dnot
AnyGmoreC G
G You know I've heard about people like Amme
C But I never Dmade the Gconnection
G They walk one road to set them Amfree
C And find they've gone the wrong Ddirection
G But there's no need for turning Amback
C 'cause all roads Dlead to where I Gstand
Em And I believe I'll walk them Amall
C No matter Dwhat I may have Gplanned
Em Can you remember who I Amwas
Can you still Dfeel it
G Can you D/F#find my Empain
C Can you Dheal it
G And lay your hands upon me Amnow
C And cast this Ddarkness from my Gsoul
Em You alone can light my Amway
C You alone can make me Dwhole
Once aGgainC G
G We've walked both sides of ev'ry Amstreet
C Through all Dkinds of windy Gweather
G But that was never our Amdefeat
C As long as we could walk Dtogether
G So there's no need for turning Amback
C 'cause all roads Dlead to where we Gstand
Em And I believe we'll walk them Amall
C No matter Dwhat we may have EmplanCnedG C G
There are two sets of chords for the verses:
Verse 1 & Verse 3 are identical
Verse 2 & Verse 4 are more or less the same
Crossroads (Don McLean)
I've got nothing on my mind
Nothing to remember
Nothing to forget
I've got nothing to regret
But I'm all tied up on the inside
No-one knows quite what I've got
And I know that on the outside
What I used to be - I'm not
Anymore
You know I've heard about people like me
But I never made the connection
They walk one road to set them free
And find they've gone the wrong direction
But there's no need for turning back
'cause all roads lead to where I stand
And I believe I'll walk them all
No matter what I may have planned
Can you remember who I was
Can you still feel it
Can you find my pain
Can you heal it
And lay your hands upon me now
And cast this darkness from my soul
You alone can light my way
You alone can make me whole
Once again
We've walked both sides of ev'ry street
Through all kinds of windy weather
But that was never our defeat
As long as we could walk together
So there's no need for turning back
'cause all roads lead to where we stand
And I believe we'll walk them all
No matter what we may have planned
