E7                             A7                   E7
                I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
                A7                                                  E7
                I went down to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
                B7                               A7                   E7
                Ask the lord up above for mercy, take me if you please.

                E7                             A7                  E7
                I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
                A7                                                 E7
                I went down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
                B7                        A7                     E7
                Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by.


[Verse 3]

                E7                               A7                     E7
                Well I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
                A7                                                       E7
                Well I'm going down to Rosedale, take my rider by my side
                B7                              A7               E7
                You can still buy a house baby, on the riverside.


[Verse 4]

                E7                        A7                            E7
                You can run, you can run, tell my friends I'll be around
                A7                                              E7
                Run, you can run, tell my friends I'll be around
                B7                                   A7                  E7
                Well I'm standing at the crossroads, believe I'm sinking down.
