x24440 or x24442. I usually play B5 (2244xx), because it's easy.]

The gypsy flies from coast to coast

Knowing many, loving none

To sweet Melissa [tab #2]
The freight train, each car looks the same, all the same
No one knows the gypsy's name
No one hears his lonely sigh
There are no blankets where he lies
In all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies

Sunbeams shining through his hair, appearing not to have a care

Pick up your gear and gypsy, roll on, roll on [tab #4]
Crossroads, will you ever let him go
Will you hide the dead man's ghost
Or will he lie beneath the plain
Or will his spirit float away

RHYTHM:
Amy's part has a rhythm like this through most of the song:
("V" is a loud strum, "v" is soft.)
V v V v V V V V v v
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -
TAB:
[T is the 10th fret; E is 11; W is 12. I did this so that the spacing
would still make sense.]
[An equal sign (=) is a hammer-on or pull-off; a tilde (~) is a bend.]
["9E" or any other numbers right next to each other are just a fast
hammer-on.]
