		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.
