The Cross I Wear Around My NeckWritten and Performed By: 100 PortraitsTabbed By: Rick (manilovejesus@aol.com)The tuning for this song is what gives it the deep,thick guitar sound. DADGAD (low E to high E) is myeducated 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 downto match it.Then tune your high E the same way.Then strike your A string and tune the B string downto match it.That's it.The intro chord is strummed for the entire firstmeasure, and is never used again.Intro ChordE-A-D-G-B-EO-5-7-O-O-7G (Verse Chord)E-A-D-G-B-E5-2-O-O-O-OE minor ChordE-A-D-G-B-E2-2-2-O-O-OC2 ChordE-A-D-G-B-EO-3-2-O-3-OD2 ChordE-A-D-G-B-EO-5-4-O-5-OG min (Chorus Chord)E-A-D-G-B-E5-5-7-7-5-5E11 (Chorus Chord)E-A-D-G-B-E2-2-2-2-2-2intro (for 1 measure.

Use it to glorify Jesus.In His Love, Rick
