Verse 1:
     G         G/B          C          Am7
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
    D7                      G      D7
The emblem of suffering and shame;
      G             G/B             C           Am7
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
      D7                        G
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

Chorus:
        D7                     G      G/B
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
        C                      G     D7
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
       G            G/B        C       Am7
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
      G              D7        G
And exchange it some day for a crown.

Verse 2:
       G          G/B         C             Am7
O that old rugged cross was despised by the world,
      D7                      G   D7
Has a wondrous attraction for me;
        G            G/B          C      Am7
For the dear Lamb of God left his glory above
   D7                   G
To bear it to dark Calvary.


Chorus:
        D7                     G      G/B
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
      C                        G     D7
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
       G            G/B        C       Am7
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
      G              D7        G      C
And exchange it some day for a crown.


Outro:

I will cling to the old rugged cross,
      G              D7        C     G  Am G
And exchange it some day for a crown.
