Capo III (Transpose Button -2) [Intro] | D | G | D/A A | D | [Verse 1]
     D                      G
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,

    A***      G***          D
the emblem of suffering and shame.

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

      A***          G***        D
for a world of lost sinners was slain.
[Chorus]
         A***        A*  G**    D
So, I'll cherish the old rugged cross

        G                      D
'til my trophies at last I lay down.

       D***         D7***      G*** Em***
I will cling to the old rugged cross

      D/A***         A***      D
and exchange it some day for a crown.
[Verse 2]
       D                              G
In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,

  A***     G***     D
a wondrous beauty I see.

           D                       G
For it was on that old cross Jesus suffered and died

   A***       G***     D
to pardon and sanctify me.
[Chorus]
         A***        A*  G**    D
So, I'll cherish the old rugged cross

        G                      D
'til my trophies at last I lay down.

       D***         D7***      G*** Em***
I will cling to the old rugged cross

      D/A***         A***      D
and exchange it some day for a crown.
[Interlude] | A*** A* G** | D | A*** A* G** | D | | G | F#m Bm | D/A*** A** | D | [End-Chorus]
    (E*)  A***        A*  N.C.   D
Yes, I'll cherish the old rugged cross

        G                      D
'til my trophies at last I lay down.

       D***         D7***      G*** Em***
I will cling to the old rugged cross

      D/A***         A***      D
and exchange it some day for a crown.

          D***        D7***      G*** Em***
Yes, I'll cherish the old rugged cross

      D/A                A       D       G     D/A*** A*** D*
and exchange it some day   for a crown.
