The Allman Brothers Band

Melissa

by The Allman Brothers Band
The Allman Brothers Band

Biography:

The Allman Brothers Band formed in 1969 in Macon, Georgia, United States and blended different strains of Southern Rock related music— Blues, Country, Gospel, Jazz, and more— into a flexible, jam-oriented Rock and Roll style. Reflecting the emergence of the "New South" and setting the style for Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Marshall Tucker Band, and many other bands, the Allman Brothers Band also oddly— or eerily, some would say— had an unusual string of untimely deaths, a pattern similar to other Southern rockers.

[Intro]
E A6 B6 A6

[Verse]
E A6 B6 A6
Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah.
E A6
The gypsy flies from coast to coast
A D6 E6 D6
Knowing many, loving none,
E A6 B6 A6
Bearing sorrow havin' fun,
C B E A6 B6 A6
But back home he'll always run to sweet melissa... mmm...

E A6 B6 A6
Freight train, each car looks the same, all the same.
E A6
And no one knows the gypsy's name
A D6 E6 D6
No one hears his lonely sigh,
E A6 B6 A6
There are no blankets where he lies.
C B
In all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies
E A6 B6 A6
with sweet melissa... mmm...

E A6 B6 A6 (repeat 2x)

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 D* B
Well, pick up your gear and gypsy roll on, roll on.

E A6 B6 A6
Crossroads, will you ever let him go? (lord, lord)
E A6
Will you hide the dead man's ghost,
A D6 E6 D6
Or will he lie, beneath the clay,
E A6 B6 A6
Or will his spirit roll away?

C B (no strum) E A6
But I know that he won't stay without melissa.
C B (no strum) E A6 B6 A6
Yes I know that he won't stay without melissa.

E A6 B6 A6 (repeat until end)

[Note] Please use the chords that I've listed above NOT the highlighted ones by
ultimate-guitar. Thanks
