that there are some inversions. But the way that I have it written  
here sounds just fine.  
 
 
The Old Rugged Cross 
 
Intro 
G D G 
 
Verse 1 
     G                      C 
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, 
    D                       G 
The emblem of suffering and shame; 
                                    C 
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best 
      D                         G 
For a world of lost sinners was slain. 

D G So I'll cherish the old rugged cross, C G Till my trophies at last I lay down; G7 C I will cling to the old rugged cross, G D G C And exchange it some day for a crown.
Verse 2 G C To the old rugged cross I will ever be true; D G Its shame and reproach gladly bear; C Then He'll call me some day to my home far away, D G Where His glory forever I'll share. Chorus 2 D G And I'll cherish the old rugged cross, C G Till my trophies at last I lay down; G7 C I will cling to the old rugged cross, G D G And exchange it some day for a crown. G7 C I will cling to the old rugged cross, G D C G And exchange it some day for a crown.
