Song: Crossroads
By:   Eric Clapton (with Cream)

[intro: live version]  A  D  A  E  D  A 

[verse:1]
A                             D		      A
I went down to the crossroads,  fell down on my knees
D                                              A
Went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
E                               D                   A
Ask the lord up above for mercy,  take me if you please.

[verse:2]
A                           D                   A
Went down to the crossroads,  tried to flag a ride
D                                               A
Went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
E                         D                    A
Nobody seemed to know me,  everybody passed me by.
	
[verse:3]
A                      D			   A
Going down to Rosedale,  take my rider by my side
D                                            A	
Going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
E                               D              A
You can still buy a house baby,   on the riverside.

[coda:]	
A                         D                            A
You can run, you can run,   tell my friends I'll be around
D                                            A
Run, you can run, tell my friends I'll be around
E                                   D {let ring}          A     {big finish}
Well I'm standing at the crossroads,  believe I'm sinking down.
