Crossroads Don McLean
"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 [Am]mind
Nothing to [D]remember
[G] [D/F#]Nothing to [Em]forget
I've got [Am]nothing to [D]regret
[G] But I'm all tied up on the [Am]inside
[C] No-one [D]knows quite what I've [G]got
[Em] And I know that on the [Am]outside
What I [C]used to be - I'm [D]not
Any[G]more[C] [G]
[G] You know I've heard about people like [Am]me
[C] But I never [D]made the [G]connection
[G] They walk one road to set them [Am]free
[C] And find they've gone the wrong [D]direction
[G] But there's no need for turning [Am]back
[C] 'cause all roads [D]lead to where I [G]stand
[Em] And I believe I'll walk them [Am]all
[C] No matter [D]what I may have [G]planned
[Em] Can you remember who I [Am]was
Can you still [D]feel it
[G] Can you [D/F#]find my [Em]pain
[C] Can you [D]heal it
[G] And lay your hands upon me [Am]now
[C] And cast this [D]darkness from my [G]soul
[Em] You alone can light my [Am]way
[C] You alone can make me [D]whole
Once a[G]gain[C] [G]
[G] We've walked both sides of ev'ry [Am]street
[C] Through all [D]kinds of windy [G]weather
[G] But that was never our [Am]defeat
[C] As long as we could walk [D]together
[G] So there's no need for turning [Am]back
[C] 'cause all roads [D]lead to where we [G]stand
[Em] And I believe we'll walk them [Am]all
[C] No matter [D]what we may have [Em]plan[C]ned[G] [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
