This is a simple version. If you listen to the bass line you'll hear
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.
