VERSE 1
On a [|][A]hill far [|][A]away
Stood an [|][D]old rugged [|][D]cross
The [|][E]emblem of [|][E]suffering and [|][A][*]shame [|]
[E]..Well I [|][A]love that old [|][A]cross
Where the [|][D]dearest and [|][D]best
For a [|][E]world of lost [|][E]sinners was [|][A]slain [|][A]

CHORUS
And I'll [|][E]cherish the [|][E]old rugged [|][A]cross [|][A]
Until my [|][D]trophies at [|][E]last I [|][A]lay down [|][A]
I will [|][A]cling to the [|][A7]old rugged [|][D]cross [|][D]
And [|][A]exchange it [|][E]someday for a [|][A]crown

     [A]                  [E]                 [A]                  [E]

VERSE 2
To the [|][A]old rugged [|][A]cross I will [|][D]ever be [|][D]true
Its [|][E]shame and [|][E]reproach gladly [|][A]bear [|][E]
Then he'll [|][A]call me [|][A]someday to my [|][D]home far [|][D]away
Where his [|][E]glory [|][E]forever I'll [|][A]share [|][A]

CHORUS
And I'll [|][E]cherish the [|][E]old rugged [|][A]cross [|][A]
Till my [|][D]trophies at [|][E]last I lay [|][A]down [|][A]
I will [|][A]cling to the [|][E7]old rugged [|][D]cross [|][D]
And [|][A]exchange it some[|][E]day for a [|][A]crown [|][E][|]
