Lyrics
On a (Cdim)hill far (C)away stood an (Fdim)old rugged (F)cross,
the (G7)emblem of suff'ring and (C)shame.
(G7)And I (Cdim)love that old (C)cross where the (Fdim)dearest and (F)best for a (G7)world of lost sinners was (C)(Ebdim)slain.
So I'll (G7)cherish the old rugged (C)cross,
till my (F)trophies at (F#dim7)last I lay (G7)down.
I will (C)cling to the (A7)old rugged (Dm)cross,
(Fm)and (C)exchange it (G7)someday for a (Ebdim7)crown.
(G7)To the (Cdim)old rugged (C)cross I will (Fdim)ever be (F)true,
its (G7)shame and reproach gladly (C)bear.
(G7)Then He'll (Cdim)call me (C)someday to my (Fdim)home far (F)away,
where this (G7)glory forever I'll (C)(Ebdim)share.
So I'll (G7)cherish the old rugged (C)cross,
till my (F)trophies at (F#dim7)last I lay (G7)down.
I will (C)cling to the (A7)old rugged (Dm)cross,
(Fm)and (C)exchange it (G7)someday for a (Ebdim7)crown.
(G7)To the (Dm)crown.
