The Old Rugged Cross Alan Jackson
(Verse)
On a [G]hill far a[G]way stood an o[C]ld rugged cross,
The [D]emblem of suff[D]ering and s[G]hame,
And I l[G]ove that old cr[G]oss where the de[C]arest and b[C]est
For a [D]world of lost sin[D]ners was s[G]lain.
(Chorus)
So I'll [D]cherish the o[D]ld rugged c[G]ross,
Till my [C]trophies at l[C]ast I lay d[G]own,
I will cl[C]ing to the o[G7]ld rugged c[C]ross,
And ex[C]change it some d[D]ay for a [G]crown.[C]
(Verse)
To the [G]old rugged c[G]ross I will e[C]ver be tr[C]ue,
It's [D]shame and rep[D]roach gladly b[G]ear,
Then he'll ca[G]ll me some [G]day to my h[C]ome far a[C]way,
Where his [D]glory for[D]ever I'll s[G]hare.
(Chorus)
And I'll [D]cherish the o[D]ld rugged c[G]ross
Till my [C]trophies at l[C]ast I lay d[G]own;
I will cl[G]ing to the o[G7]ld rugged [C]cross
And e[G]xchange it some [D]day for a c[G]rown
I will cling to the [G7]old rugged c[C]ross
And ex[G]change it some [D]day for a c[C]rown [G]
