    Cross To Bear

  • Artist:

    Allman Brothers Band

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             
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              
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              
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.
