Around My Neck 100 Portraits
The Cross I Wear Around My Neck

The tuning for this song is what gives it the deep,
thick guitar sound. DADGAD (low E to high E) is my
educated guess. I found the match to be perfect.
Here's how to get there if you're not sure how:
First, strike the D string and tune the low E down
to match it.
Then tune your high E the same way.
Then strike your A string and tune the B string down
to match it.
That's it.
The intro chord is strummed for the entire first
measure, and is never used again.

verse
[G]The cross I wear around my neck who is it for
[E]If[min] it is not for us?
[C2]The lame and the blind, the ones held captive and
[D2]The fatherless?
(verse chords repeat up to chorus)
chorus
[G]Th[min]e cross I wear around my nec[E]k[11]
[C2]Is being raised above my head
[D2]I think this time It's wearing someone else
[G]I [min]see it drop into the grou[E]nd[11]
[C2]And when it falls I hear the sound
[D2]Of someone crying I Love You[G] [min] [E] [11] [C2] [D2]
The progression repeats itself for the song duration.
Don't forget about the added half-measure just before
each new verse.
This song is very powerful. Use it to glorify Jesus.
In His Love, Rick
