[Verse 1]
A                           D
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
    E         E7            A      E7
The emblem of suffering and shame.
      A                              D
How I love that old cross, where the dearest and best,
      E             E7           A
For a world of lost sinners, was slain.
 
[Chorus]
        E                      A
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
        D                      A    E
Till my trophies at last I lay down.
       A                       D     Dm
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
Dm    A             E         A     E
And exchange it someday for a crown
 
[Verse 2]
E       A                       D
Oh that old rugged cross, so despised by the world,
      E                       A      E7
Has a wondrous attraction for me
        A                          D
For the dear Lamb of God, left His glory above
   E                    A
To bear it to dark Calvary.
 
[Chorus]
        E                      A
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
        D                      A    E
Till my trophies at last I lay down.
       A                       D     Dm
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
Dm    A             E         A     E
And exchange it someday for a crown
 
[Interlude]
A  D  Dm  A  E  A
 
[Verse 3]
           A                       D
Then He'll call me some day, to my home far away,
          E                  A
Where His glory forever I'll share.
 
[Chorus]
        E                      A
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
        D                      A    E
Till my trophies at last I lay down.
       A                       D     Dm
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
Dm    A             E         A
And exchange it someday for a crown
 
[Outro]
                               D     Dm
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
Dm    A             E         Asus   A
And exchange it someday for a crown
