Croosroads(Chords)

	        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                       Am 
  I've got nothing on my mind 
             D 
  Nothing to remember 
G D/F#       Em 
  Nothing to forget 
           Am         D 
  I've got nothing to regret 
G                            Am 
  But I'm all tied up on the inside 
C        D                     G 
  No-one knows quite what I've got 
Em                       Am 
  And I know that on the outside 
         C                D 
  What I used to be - I'm not 
     G   C   G 
  Anymore 

G                                       Am 
  You know I've heard about people like me 
C             D        G 
  But I never made the connection 
G                                Am 
  They walk one road to set them free 
C                                 D 
  And find they've gone the wrong direction 
G                                 Am 
  But there's no need for turning back 
C                  D               G 
  'cause all roads lead to where I stand 
Em                             Am 
  And I believe I'll walk them all 
C           D               G 
  No matter what I may have planned 

Em                       Am 
  Can you remember who I was 
                D 
  Can you still feel it 
G         D/F#    Em 
  Can you find my pain 
C         D 
  Can you heal it 
G                            Am 
  And lay your hands upon me now 
C               D                G 
  And cast this darkness from my soul 
Em                       Am 
  You alone can light my way 
C                       D 
  You alone can make me whole 
        G   C   G 
  Once again 

G                                  Am 
  We've walked both sides of ev'ry street 
C             D              G 
  Through all kinds of windy weather 
G                        Am 
  But that was never our defeat 
C                          D 
  As long as we could walk together 
G                                Am 
  So there's no need for turning back 
C                  D                G 
  'cause all roads lead to where we stand 
Em                              Am 
  And I believe we'll walk them all 
C           D                Em  C  G  C  G 
  No matter what we may have planned 

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
