The Old Rugged Cross

Cash Johnny

        A                      D
1. On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
       E                       A     E
   The emblem of suffering and shame 
         A                             D
   And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
         E                         A
   For a world of lost sinners was slain

            E                      A
R: And I'll cherish the old rugged cross
            D           E          A
   until my trophies at last I lay down
                                  D
   I will cling to the old rugged cross
       A                E         A
   And exchange it some day for a crown

2. To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
   Its shame and reproach gladly bear
   Then He'll call me some day to my home far away
   Where His glory forever I'll share

R: And I`ll...
                               D
I will cling to the old rugged cross
    A                E         A
And exchange it some day for a crown
