Verse

E minorEm         C majorC
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
D MajorD            E minorEm
the emblem of suffering and shame;
E minorEm            C majorC
and I love that old cross where the dearest and best
D MajorD             G+G
for a world of lost sinners was slain.

Chorus

     D MajorD           G+G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
     C majorC           G+G
till my trophies at last I lay down;
	 G+G            C majorC
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
     G+G      D MajorD     E minorEm
and exchange it some day for a crown.

    E minorEm C majorC D MajorD E minorEm

Verse 2
E minorEm            C majorC
In that old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine,
 D MajorD         E minorEm
a wondrous beauty I see,
E minorEm              C majorC
for 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died,
  D MajorD         G+G
to pardon and sanctify me.

Chorus

     D MajorD           G+G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
     C majorC           G+G
till my trophies at last I lay down;
	 G+G            C majorC
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
     G+G      D MajorD     E minorEm
and exchange it some day for a crown.

    E minorEm C majorC D MajorD E minorEm

Verse 3
E minorEm            C majorC
To that old rugged cross I will ever be true,
   D MajorD             E minorEm
its shame and reproach gladly bear;
E minorEm              C majorC
then he'll call me some day to my home far away,
	  D MajorD         G+G
where his glory forever I'll share.


Chorus

  D MajorD           G+G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
	 C majorC           G+G
till my trophies at last I lay down;
	 G+G            C majorC
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
	G+G       D MajorD     G+G
and exchange it some day for a crown.
