Play loose with a swiing to your strum. An added bar or solo in the right place might sound good. The A7 A A7 at the end of the lines I play as a shuffle for two bars.Was this info helpful?

A             A7         D7              A    A7 A A7
I went to the crossroad, fell down on my knees
D7                                     A     A7 A A7
Down to the crossroad, fell down on my knees
          E7
Asked the Lord above, "Have mercy now
D7             A7     A7 A A7
Save me if you please"
 
A                  A7
I went down to the crossroads,
D7              A   A7 A A7
tried to flag a ride
D7                                      A   A7 A A7
Down to the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
E7                        D7                  A  A7 A A7
Nobody seemed to know me, everybody passed me by

        E7                  D7                 A   A7 A A7
You can still barrel house, baby, on the river side

A                    A7   D7                          A    A7 A A7
You can run, you can run, tell my friend, boy, Willie Brown
D7                       D7                          A    A7 A A7

        E7                           D7                  A   A7 A A7
And I'm standing at the crossroad, I believe I'm sinking down
 
 
A             A7         D7              A    A7 A A7
