[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.
