Old Rugged Cross Chords

[Verse 1]
     C                      F
On a hill far away stood an old   rugged cross,
    G                       C
the emblem of suffering and     shame;
       C                            F
and I love that old cross where the dearest and best
      G                          C
for a world of lost sinners   was    slain.
 
[Chorus]
G/B   Am      G                      C
      So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
         F                    C
Till my trophies at last I lay   down
                               F
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
       C             G        C
And exchange it someday for a crown.
 
[Break]
 C       C     G     C
 
[Verse 2]
       C
To the old rugged cross
       F
I will ever be true
   G                         C
It shame and reproach, gladly    bare
           C
Then he'll call me someday
       F
To my home far away
          G                  C
Where his glory forever I'll    share
 
[Chorus]
G/B   Am      G                      C
      So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
         F                    C
Till my trophies at last I lay   down
                               F
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
       C             G        Am
And exchange it someday for a crown.

[Outro]
Dm      C           G         F        C      Dm     C
And exchange it someday for a crown.
