The Old Rugged Cross

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. 


[Refrão]
        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.
