Around My Neck Lyrics

The Cross I Wear Around My Neck
Written and Performed By: 100 Portraits
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.

intro (for 1 measure. Strum once, then softly, building
toward end of measure)
The cross I wear around my neck who is it for
min
If it is not for us?
The lame and the blind, the ones held captive and
The fatherless?
(verse chords repeat up to chorus)
min
The cross I wear around my neck
Is being raised above my head
I think this time It's wearing someone else
min 11
I see it drop into the ground
And when it falls I hear the sound
n
Of someone crying I Love You
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
