The old rugged crossBy Alan Jackson[Intro]D7 G[Verse 1]G COn a hill far away stood a old rugged crossD7 GThe emblem of suffering and shameCAnd i love that old cross where the dearest and bestD GFor a world of lost sinners was slain[Chorus]D GSo I'll cherish the old rugged crossC DTill my trophies at last I lay downG7 CI will cling to the old rugged crossG D G CAnd exchange it some day for a crown[Verse 2]
G CTo the old rugged cross i will ever be trueD GIt's shame and reproach gladly bearCThen he'll call me some day to my home far awayD GWhere his glory forever I'll share[Chorus 2]D GAnd I'll cherish the old rugged crossC GTill my trophies at last I lay downG7 CI will cling to the old rugged crossG D GAnd exchange it some day for a crownG7 CI will cling to the old rugged crossG D C GAnd exchange it some day for a crown
