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. 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.
