Alan Jackson - The Old Rugged Cross Ukulele

[Verse 1]
     G                       C
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
    D                       G
The emblem of suffering and shame
      G                              C
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
      D                          G
For a world of lost sinners was slain
 
 
[Chorus]
        D                      C
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
        C                      G
Till my trophies at last I lay down
       G                       C
I will cling to the old rugged cross
         G           D         G
And exchange it some day for a crown
 
 
[Verse 2]
       G                       C
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
     D                         G
It's shame and reproach gladly bear
           G                      C
Then he'll call me some day to my home far away
          D
Where his glory forever I'll share
 
 
[Chorus]
         D                      C
And I'll cherish the old rugged cross
        C                      G
Till my trophies at last I lay down
           G                       C
And I will cling to the old rugged cross
        G            D         G
And exchange it some day for a crown
 
 
[Outro]
       G                       C
I will cling to the old rugged cross
         G           D         G
And exchange it some day for a crown
