A7
I have not come, to testify
D9
About our bad bad misfortune
Dm9
And I ain't here a wonderin' why
A7 F#7 B7 E
But I'll live on, and I'll be strong
A7 x7655x
Cause it just ain't my cross to bear.
A7
Sat down and wrote you a long letter, just the other day
D9
Said as sure as the sun rises
Dm9
Tomorrow I'll be up and on my way
A7 F#7 B7 E
But I'll live on, and I'll be strong
A7 x7655x
Cause it just ain't my cross to bear.
LEAD
A7 F#7 B7 E
But I'll live on, and I'll be strong
A7 x7655x
Cause it just ain't my cross to bear.
A7
But in the end baby, _____________________
D9
Don't reach out for me
Dm9
I'm not gonna carry on
A7 F#7 B7 E
But I'll live on, and I'll be strong
A7
Cause it just ain't my cross to bear.
