[Verse]
E7 E Dbm Gbm7 B7
■  ■ ■   ■    ■ 
     E        E7            A               
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
B7                          E     B7
The emblem of suffering and shame ■ 
      E                  
And I love that old cross
          A               
Where the dearest and best
      B     B7                  E    
For a world of lost sinners was slain


[Chorus]
        B7                     E    
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
        A                      E   
Till my trophies at last I lay down
                    Gbm        A     Gbm
I will cling to the old rugged cross ■  
E                    B7        A    
And exchange it some day for a crown
E Dbm7 B7 B

[Verse]
       E               
To the old rugged cross
  A                
I will ever be true
    B7                        E    Gbm7
Its shame its reproach gladly bear ■   
           E       E7     
Then He'll call me someday
      A            
To my home far away
          B                  E    
Where his glory forever I'll share


[Chorus]
        B7                     E    
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
        A                      E   
Till my trophies at last I lay down
                    Gbm        A     Gbm
I will cling to the old rugged cross ■  
E                    B   B7  Dbm E     A
And exchange it some day for a   crown ■
E                    B7      A       E
And exchange it some day for a crown ■
