[Intro]  
A  E 
  
[Verse]
     A                        D
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross  
        E                  A        E   
The emblem of suffering and shame  
        A                              D
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best  
      E                         A
For a world of lost sinners was slain  
 
[Chorus] 
          E                       A
And I'll cherish the old rugged cross 
         D             E             A
until my trophies at last I lay down  
                            D
I will cling to the old rugged cross 
   A                    E          A
And exchange it some day for a crown 
 
[Verse]
        A                        D
To the old rugged cross, I will ever be true 
      E                        A        E   
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
            A                       D
Then He'll call me someday, to my home far away 
           E                   A
Where His glory forever I'll share 
 
[Chorus] 
          E                       A
And I'll cherish the old rugged cross 
         D             E             A
until my trophies at last I lay down  
                            D
I will cling to the old rugged cross 
   A                    E          A
And exchange it some day for a crown 
 
[Tag]
                             D
I will cling to the old rugged cross 
    A                    E           A
And exchange it some day for a crown
