Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 I've got nothing on my mind
  Nothing to remember
Nothing  to forget
  I've got nothing  to regret
 But I'm all tied up on the inside
 No-one knows  quite what I've got
 And I know that on the outside
  What I used  to be - I'm not
  Anymore
 You know I've heard about people like me
 But I never made  the connection
 They walk one road to set them free
 And find they've gone the wrong direction
 But there's no need for turning back
 'cause all roads lead  to where I stand
 And I believe I'll walk them all
 No matter what  I may have planned
 Can you remember who I was
  Can you still feel  it
 Can you find  my pain
 Can you heal  it
 And lay your hands upon me now
 And cast this darkness  from my soul
 You alone can light my way
 You alone can make me whole
  Once again
 We've walked both sides of ev'ry street
 Through all kinds  of windy weather
 But that was never our defeat
 As long as we could walk together
 So there's no need for turning back
 'cause all roads lead  to where we stand
 And I believe we'll walk them all
 No matter what  we may have planned
 There are two sets of chords for the verses:
 Verse 1 & Verse 3 are identical
 Verse 2 & Verse 4 are more or less the same

Crossroads (Don McLean)

I've got nothing on my mind
Nothing to remember
Nothing to forget
I've got nothing to regret
But I'm all tied up on the inside
No-one knows quite what I've got
And I know that on the outside
What I used to be - I'm not
Anymore

You know I've heard about people like me
But I never made the connection
They walk one road to set them free
And find they've gone the wrong direction
But there's no need for turning back
'cause all roads lead to where I stand
And I believe I'll walk them all
No matter what I may have planned

Can you remember who I was
Can you still feel it
Can you find my pain
Can you heal it
And lay your hands upon me now
And cast this darkness from my soul
You alone can light my way
You alone can make me whole
Once again

We've walked both sides of ev'ry street
Through all kinds of windy weather
But that was never our defeat
As long as we could walk together
So there's no need for turning back
'cause all roads lead to where we stand
And I believe we'll walk them all
No matter what we may have planned
