Around My Neck by 100 Portraits Guitar Chords


The Cross I Wear Around My Neck
Written and Performed By: 100 Portraits
Tabbed 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 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
The cross I wear around my neck who is it for

If it is not for us?

The lame and the blind, the ones held captive and

The fatherless?

(verse chords repeat up to chorus)

chorus
The cross I wear around my neck

Is being raised above my head

I think this time It’s wearing someone else

I see it drop into the ground

And when it falls I hear the sound

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
