[Intro] G D7 G [Verse 1]
     G                      C
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross

    D7                      G
The emblem of suffering and shame

      G                             C
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best

      D                         G
For a world of lost sinners was slain
[Chorus]
        D                      G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross

        C                      G     D
Till my trophies at last I lay down

       G            G7         C     Am7
I will cling to the old rugged cross

      G              D         G      D
And exchange it some day for a crown
[Verse 2]
       G                       C
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true

    D                         G
Its shame and reproach gladly bear

           G                      C
Then he'll call me some day to my home far away

          D                  G
Where his glory forever I'll share
[Chorus 2]
         D                      G
And I'll cherish the old rugged cross

        C                      G     D
Till my trophies at last I lay down

       G            G7         C     Am7
I will cling to the old rugged cross

      G              D         G      D
And exchange it some day for a crown

       G            G7         C     Am7
I will cling to the old rugged cross

      G              D          C       G
And exchange it some day for a crown
