^EAgain the morning comes ^DAgain he's on the run ^ASunbeam shining through his hair ^BAppearing not to have a care C#m A B (n.c.) Pick up your gear and gypsy roll on, roll on

Crossroads, will you ever let him go, no, no, no will you hide the dead man's ghost Or will he lie beneath the clay Or will his spirit float away But I know that he won't stay

Without Me^Elissa ^F#m ^CYes I know that he won't s^Btay without Me^Elissa^F#m N^G#mo, no he just w^F#mon't stay
