The Old Rugged Cross(Chords)

	        
G                           C 
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross 

    D7                      G 
The emblem of suffering and shame 

                                    C 
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best 

      D7                        G 
For a world of lost sinners was slain 

   
   D7                          G 
So Iâ??ll cherish the old rugged cross 

        C                      G 
Till my trophies at last I lay down 

                               C 
I will cling to the old rugged cross 

     G              D7        G 
And exchange it someday for a crown 

  
                           C 
O that old rugged cross so despised by the world 

      D7                      G 
Has a wondrous attraction for me 

                              C 
For the dear lamb of God left His glory above 

   G          D7   G 
To bear it on dark Calvary 

  
   D7                          G 
So Iâ??ll cherish the old rugged cross 

        C                      G 
Till my trophies at last I lay down 

                               C 
I will cling to the old rugged cross 

     G              D7        G 
And exchange it someday for a crown
