The Old Rugged Cross Chords

(ver. 1)
Alan Jackson
[Verse]
     G         G             C
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
    D             D          G
The emblem of suffering and shame,
       G              G               C          C
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
      D                D         G
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

[Chorus]
        D            D          G
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
        C            C          G
Till my trophies at last I lay down,
         C           G7         C
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
      C               D        G     C
And exchange it some day for a crown.

[Verse]
       G           G            C        C
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,
     D            D             G
It's shame and reproach gladly bear,
             G          G          C        C
Then he'll call me some day to my home far away,
          D        D          G
Where his glory forever I'll share.

[Chorus]
         D            D          G
And I'll cherish the old rugged cross
        C            C          G
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
         G           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
