The Old Rugged Cross
1st Fret Capo
Intro:
D MajorD

Verse 1:
   D MajorD    D7D7      G+G     E minor 7Em7
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
  A augmentedA     A7A7      D MajorD   A7A7
The emblem of suffering and shame.
    D MajorD      D7D7       G+G      E minor 7Em7
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
   A augmentedA       A7A7     D MajorD
For a world of lost sinners was slain

Chorus:
    A augmentedA      A7A7     D MajorD
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
    G+G           D MajorD
Till my trophies at last I lay down
    D MajorD       D7D7    G+G  E minorEm  E minor 7Em7
I will cling to the old rugged cross
  D MajorD        A augmentedA    A7A7 D MajorD
And exchange it some day for a  crown


Verse 2:
     D MajorD     D7D7      G+G      E minor 7Em7
Oh, that old rugged cross, so despised by the world
   A augmentedA     A7A7      D MajorD   A7A7
Has a wondrous attraction for me
    D MajorD      D7D7      G+G   E minor 7Em7
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
  A augmentedA     A7A7    D MajorD
To pardon and sanctify me


Verse 3:
    D MajorD     D7D7         G+G     E minor 7Em7
In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine
 A augmentedA    A7A7    D MajorD  A7A7
A augmentedA wondrous beauty I see
    D MajorD       D7D7      G+G      E minor 7Em7
For t'was on that old cross, Jesus suffered and died
  A augmentedA     A7A7    D MajorD
To pardon and sanctify me


Verse 4:
    D MajorD     D7D7      G+G    E minor 7Em7
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
  A augmentedA      A7A7      D MajorD  A7A7
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
      D MajorD      D7D7    G+G     E minor 7Em7
Then He'll call me someday to my home far away
     A augmentedA    A7A7    D MajorD
Where His glory forever I'll share
