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.

The lame and the blind, the ones held captive and

Is being raised above my head

G min E 11

I see it drop into the ground

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
