Verse 1
Deep (D major) down in
Texas, some years ago
There (G major) was a poor preacher
that I came to know.
He'd been (C major) do ing
God's work for most of his life,
but (D major) what he was known for
most was his wife.
She (G major) was as pretty as she was wild.
She gave (C major) him no comfort,
she bore him no child.
She set (A major) him no table,
she baked him no bread.
And once (D major) when I asked
Him about it,
He said,
Love is a cross (G major) you bear,
A thorny crown (D major) you wear. (G major)
I ain't no saint, (D major) I never was, (G major)
But, she knows (C major) not what she (D major) does.
Love is a cross you bear. (G major)
(D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) (C major)
(D major) (G major)
Soon (D major) I moved on, and soon I lost track
But one (G major) night in
Denver, it all came back
In a (C major) beautiful church with
a melodious choir
There (D major) he was preaching
his brimstone and fire
An (G major) d then this angel that
I'd seen before
Came (C major) out and joined him in his holy war
She looked (A major) at her husband
and as the bell rang
She lif (D major) ted her angelic voice up and sang
Love is a cross (G major) you bear
If only crowned (D major) you had (G major)
Once I was lost (D major) but now I'm found
(G major) Once I was weak (C major) and let love down (D major)
Love is a cross you bear (G major)
As (D major) I left that church, amazed as can be,
a (G major) great revelation came unto me.
Of (C major) all of the good things this life is made of,
the be (D major) st is the sweat from the labor of love.
Love is a cross (A flat major) you bear,
a thorny crown (E flat major) you wear. (A flat major)
Verse 2
Sinner, repent (E flat major) and make amends. (A flat major)
Verse 3
Love has been dy (C sharp major) ing for your sin. (E flat major)
Verse 4
Love is a cross (E flat major) you bear. (A flat major)
Love is a cross (A major) you bear,
Verse 5
a thorny (E major) crown you (D major) wear. (A major)
(A major) Sinner,
Verse 6
(E major) re pent and make (A major) amends.
(D major) Love has been
Verse 7
dying for (D major) your (A major) sin (E major) s,
love is a (E major) cross (A major) you (E major) bear. (A major)
