[Intro 1]
[G][Em][D][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
Deep [D]down in Texas,
some years ago
There [G]was a poor preacher,
I came to know
He'd been [C]doing God's work
most of his life
What [D]he was known for most was his wife
she [G]was as pretty as she was wild
she [C]gave him no comfort
she bore him no child
she [A]set him no table
she baked him no bread
and once [D]when I asked him about it
said love is a crow
[C]You [G]bear a thorny [D]crown, you wear
[G]I'm not a sai[D]nt, I never was
[G]But brother,
[C]she knows not what she [D]does
Love is a [G]cross,
[D]you [G]bear[C][G][D][G]
[D]Soon I moved on, soon I lost track
One [G]night in Denver, it all came back
In a [C]beautiful church with a glorious choir
[D]There he was preaching
his brimstone and fire
[G]Then this angel that I'd seen before
Came [C]out and joined him in his holy war
She [A]looked at her husband as the bell rang
She lif[D]ted her angelic voice up and sang
Love is a [G]cross [C]you bear
[G]A thorny cro[D]wn you wear
[G]Once I was los[D]t, but now I'm found
[G]Once I was weak, I[C] let love down
[D]Love is a cro[G]ss you[D] bea[G]r
As [D]I left that c[Dsus4]hurch, am[D]azed as can be
A [G]great revelation came unto me
Of [C]all of the good things
this life is made of,
The be[D]st is the sweat
from the labor of love.
Love is [G]a c[Ab]ross y[Eb]ou be[C#]ar,[Ab]
A thorny [Eb]crown you [Ab]wear,
Sinner [Eb]repent and make [Ab]amends.
Love has been dy[C#]ing for your sin[Eb]s,
Love is [Ab]across [Eb]you t[Ab]here.
