[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Hitcher on the back road,
man with his guitar
Said [G]take me to the crossroads,
crossroads ain't that [D]far
He said you come [A]up from the delta,
[Bm]He said he[G] liked my ca[D]r
He told me on the way there,
he was born in sin
(What else [G]is new?)
I said I ride that road yeah and, I
know just [D]where you been
I don't [Am]know where [A]I'm headed,
[Bm]I ca[G]n't go back ag[D]ain
You tell me what you got now,
I'll tell you what [A]you've lost[D]
Tell [G]me what you bought now,
tell [D]me what it cost
Look out [Am]of yo[A]ur window,
[Bm]gone[G] like morning fros[D]t

[Verse 2]
You know I [D]took him to the crossroad,
I took him down that day
[G]Left him at the crossroads,
saw [D]him kneel and pray
In my rear [A]view mirror,
[Bm]I wa[G]tched him fade[D] away
You know back in town they're talking,
they say he sold his soul
They say he died for nothing,
they dumped him in the [G]hole
You know they're talking,
say they [D]dumped in a hole
He [Am]must be [A]burning they say,
[G]burning black as [D]coal

[Verse 3]
[D]I said they don't know nothing,
they don't know that man's blood
I [G]say I saw that man rise from
Missis[D]sippi mud
I said [A]that man was clean,
[Bm]as Jack [G]from Jorda[D]n's flood
He went down to the crossroad,
and fell down on his knees
Yes Lord [G]above have mercy,
he said save poor Bob [D]if you please
He sure is [A]star in heaven,
[Bm]burn[G]ing 'bove the seas[D]
[A]He sure is star in heaven,
[Bm]burning brig[G]ht above[D] the seas.
