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.

G
The cross I wear around my neck who is it for

If it is not for us?
C2
The lame and the blind, the ones held captive and

The cross I wear around my neck

Is being raised above my head

I think this time It's wearing someone else
G min E 11
I see it drop into the ground

And when it falls I hear the sound
D2 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
