Verse 1

  E
I walked out tonight for a ramble round
                                        B
I didn’t mean to stay  just to view the town
               A            E
When I saw her smiling from afar
              A    B               E
As she walked into that crossroads bar

Verse 2

     E
Well I walked inside and sat me down
                                      B
Ordered sweet red wine and I drank it down
             A             E
She came and set beside me there
                  A    B            E
With a dark brown eyes and the red, red hair

Verse 3

  E
I told her that I loved her true

Anything you want I’ll surely do
                A             E
Said a man like you don’t get too far
                 A  B      E
With a girl like me at the crossroads bar

Verse 4

  E
I like smoky light and a lonesome song
                                 B
And I won’t do right if I can do wrong
                     A                       E
You want the moon to burn behind the darkest star
                   A    B      E
And you won’t find love at the crossroads bar

     E
Come all my friends and take my advice
                                        B
Keep your love at home with your lovely wife
                  A                  E
You’re better off than you think you are
                   A    B      E
And you won’t find love at the crossroads bar
